More details: I was able to manually patch connection.py and now the bridged devices show. Unfortunately, the install of KVM does not create any bridged devices, so for the next step I manually edited the /etc/network/interfaces and added the bridging (per instructions found in Ubuntu Forums) and restarted networking. Now the bridged option does show and works. My image now has net access. However, when I rebooted I had no internet access in Ubuntu Hardy Heron (the host system!). No matter what I did, I could not get it to work. It seemed to be a gateway issue. I finally put the original /etc/network/interfaces file back and gave up on bridged networking and KVM in general. Hopefully, Parallels will eventually support Hardy (I own a license to Parallels), and I will use it instead. Too bad, since KVM looked like a viable Free-as-in- freedom alternative initially. However, since the virtual network option didn't work (no internet connectivity for images, something wrong with NAT I guess), and bridged-networking didn't work, that leaves KVM as a fairly useless option.
