Hi all:
I noticed that Virt Manager will not start the network "default" unless it detects a running firewalld. Arch Linux only ships with iptables by default. Can Virt-Manager be patched to not check as aggressively for a firewall (or just issue a warning)?
virt-manager doesn't have any specific firewalld checking so this is likely coming from libvirt. I don't know anything about arch packaging, but if the libvirt package doesn't pull in firewalld then maybe libvirt should be built --without-firewalld What libvirt version is this? And what's the exact error message you are seeing? - Cole

I had to manually install ebtalbes on archlinux when testing libvirt by "make check".
