Surprisingly, there is no documentation on the official site http://virt-manager.org/ I specifically need documentation on bridged / host-only / NAT virtual networking via the GUI.

What sort of documentation ? virt-manager is a graphical tool. RHEL has some, see also libirt. It would help if you have a specific question with a specific step.– PantherNov 20, 2014 at 5:01

Like I said, I specifically need documentation on bridged / host-only virtual networking via the GUI. virt-manager has two tabs to configure networking; that confuses me. Tabs are 'Virtual Networks' and 'Network Interfaces' and can be accessed by right clicking 'localhost (QEMU)' and choosing 'details' Hope this is specific enough.– melvincvNov 21, 2014 at 5:52

See access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/… - I aslo suggest you read the documentation on qemu and libvirt libvirt.org/docs.html kvm (and to some extent vbox) are built on qemu and virt-manager is a graphical front end for libvirt.– PantherNov 21, 2014 at 13:53

Network interfaces configure the vitrual network hardware and vitrual networks is how the virtual machine connects to your network (NAT, private network, bridge).– PantherNov 21, 2014 at 13:55

Well, I'd like to configure 'Bridged Networking' with my NIC card, as I did in Virtualbox. Should I use 'Virtual Networks' or 'Network INterfaces'?– melvincvNov 28, 2014 at 9:13

It depends on your version of virt manager
In your guest, select host networking
If your version of virt manager does not automatically add a bridge you need to manually configure your bridge.
