And here is how I am trying to attach an interface: # cat PRIVBR0.xml <network> <name>PRIVBR0</name> <bridge name='privbr0'/> <ip address='172.19.0.1' netmask='255.255.0.0'> </ip> </network> # virsh net-list --all Name State Autostart ----------------------------------------- PRIVBR0 active yes default active no # virsh attach-interface CC bridge privbr0 error: this function is not supported by the hypervisor: device type 'interface' cannot be attached # grep emulator CC.xml <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-kvm</emulator> I tried the 'attach-interface' both while the domain is running and while shutdown. Neither works. Can anyone see something wrong in what I'm doing here or the reason that 'attach-interface' is failing? -Gerry
