I think it is possible that 'yast2 virtualization' (yast2-vm) is failing to
create a bridge. If so, the problem is likely in the yast2-network code
because the yast2-vm code is very simple and just calls into yast2-network
to do the bridge creation.

A simple 'ip addr' on the host would confirm if a bridge is present.
