How do I stop virbr0 interface being created?
Whenever I start my laptop(HP) , 'Network Connections' shows it being connected (though it is actually not) . When I go to 'edit connections' option , it shows virbr0 . I have to delete it every time . How to get rid of this ? Is it a hardware problem ?

Are you running any VMs like VirtualBox or VMPlayer? If you are, virbr0 is created by those and should not be removed.

Sorry, I only listed 2 of them. There is a bigger list here of VMs. Any VM that is installed will create that for the virtual bridged network so the VM will get IP addresses.

On my machine virbr0 interface was created after installation of libvirt-bin package which is dependency of virt-manager.
Solution 1 (straight-forward):
It seems you can remove it from startup by removing corresponding file with
sudo rm /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/autostart/default.xml
You can bring it back with
sudo ln -s /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/autostart/default.xml
Solution 2 (with virsh)
- disable:
sudo virsh net-autostart --disable default
- enable:
sudo virsh net-autostart default
But this has side-effect. If you want to use bridged network in virt-manager you should start bridge before launching VM with sudo virsh net-start default.
Solution 3 (set virbr0 unmanaged in NetworkManager)
The following lines should be added to the end of /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf:
[keyfile]
unmanaged-devices=interface-name:virbr0
The result: NetworkManager "does not know" about virbr0, but VMs can access bridged networking.
