From: Stefan Berger <stefanb(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com&gt; Recent Linux iptables (3.11.7) refuses to create iptables MAC address check rules using -m mac --mac-source <addr> where previous versions still allowed it. So we now need to deactivate the filtering rules for when the incoming traffic is filtered before it is sent into the VM. Those are typically the chains that start with FO-* or start with FP-* when they are being built. Adapt the documentation to reflect the fact that srcmacaddr, when used in iptables rules, should be regarded as deprecated due to the above mentioned problems.
