Hey,

I just dropped a quick fix to 
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Networking, but I figured it would 
be worthwhile to add some feedback.  The KVM section seems to be making 
some assumptions that I did not actually understand.  I did not get a 
great deal of references to Virtual Machine Manager in this section. 
Also, I get the impression of the Networking page that the instructions 
are aimed at someone installing this on a Ubuntu Server installation. 
Since I don't really know the intent I'm leaving it alone.

In order to get KVM networking to work, I needed to disable 
NetworkManager, and get resolvconf working properly.  I did not see 
/usr/share/ubuntu-vm-builder/templates/libvirt.tmpl on my filesystem and 
  /etc/libvirt/qemu/ did not contain an interface section in the xml 
definition file.  (I'm on Jaunty Desktop).

I'm not sure if I'm just being a bull in a china shop, or if this needs 
attention.  So, here's hoping my email helps.

Thanks,
J
