I'm having problem trying to start the default network with virsh:

~# virsh net-start default
libvir: QEMU error : internal error cannot create bridge 'virbr0' : Package not installed
error: Failed to start network default

I've made the dnsmasq config following the README.Debian doc.

Oh, excuse me, but it was my fault not to check that the current kernel
provided by my ISP do not have bridge networking support.

On the other side, I think the error message should be more expressive, but
it is related to the bridge-utils package.

Please run libvirtd on the console as root:

LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 libvirtd

and watch the output while trying to start the network. It should tell
you what's missing. Bridge-utils are there?

I doesn't think the error message directly comes from bridge-utils, it is
rewrited by libvirt. So I filled a bug report in the Red Hat Bugzilla.
