OK so you have to do three things:

1. Create a "network" on the networks pane to serve as your guest
network. Here you name the network and define some basic things about it
-- is it dhcp or statically configured, what is the gateway, etc.

2. For each host you want to use this network, map one available nic to
it (click "edit networks" in the host details pane). Doesn't matter
which NIC you choose except that it has to actually be physically
connected to whatever network you want to use. For now you have to
reboot the host after you have done this (this will go away in the
future).

3. When you create VMs, choose your guest network as the network for the
VM. When the VM boots it will automatically get a vnic that uses the
appropriate bridge on the physical host it's deployed on.

I know this is not clear in the docs, I apologize -- it is new code.

Hope this helps,
