Normally I hate the "ask X, get recommended Y" type replies, so sorry in 
advance.
I was struggling with bridging just yesterday and the Fedora fellow I 
was talking to strongly recommended simply hand-crafting the bridge 
config files. I did this and got my virtual machine (kvm) up and running 
finally.
Here's to hoping someone has a more direct and appropriate answer. :)

PS: Here's a sample:
=== /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0 ===
DEVICE=br0
TYPE=Bridge
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR=192.168.1.12
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAT=192.168.1.1
================================================

The add: "BRIDGE=br0" to the appropriate 'ifcfg-ethX' file and restart 
networking.
