Bridging requires root access, something that boxes can't provide you 
right now, since it can only access the unprivileged qemu session. Since 
virt-manager can access the privileged qemu session, it also has access 
to the libvirt bridge, and it will all work fine.

Note that using wifi and having a working bridge is perfectly possible, 
a wifi interface is very much like an ethernet interface for bridging 
purposes.
