Remote bridge enumeration depends on libvirt interface support, which depends on netcf, which I don't think knows how to speak debian network configuration. Running 'virsh iface-list' should show your bridge on the remote host: if it doesn't, virt-manager won't offer it as an install option. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
