I have just faced this problem, on a Fedora 20 fresh install. All Fedora 19 works out of the box with the same setup. It seems a regression to me.
Raised https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1022977.
Do Fedora maintainers raise upstream issues, or am I expected to do that?
AFAICS the "fix" for this bug is only a documentation change on sysctl.d, no actual fix was applied. The only related bug still open is https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=710858, but it seems abandoned.
The fact is that if you follow http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Networking#Fedora.2FRHEL_Bridging but keep NetworkManager instead of network to manage your bridges, it works perfectly on F19, but not on Fedora 20.
Based on this, I think that we should have at least an open bug addresing this problem. What do you think?
I don't know why you see it as an F19 to F20 regression, because I'm fairly sure it's been broken the whole time. I've been trying to get it fixed for a while. The originator bug is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=634736 . I have a write-up at https://www.happyassassin.net/2014/07/23/bridged-networking-for-libvirt-with... which has the current 'recommended' workaround. It's been broken basically forever, NM has never worked around this problem as network.service does.
