I posted the following message a few days ago. Does anyone have a
minute to look at the output of the troubleshooting tools and advise
if they appear correct or if anything stands out as a problem? Or is
there another valid direction to go in to find out why the network fails?
I'm really stumped here and if there is no other direction to go in I'm
dead in the water.
So should I just start playing taps?
"I am running Fedora 16 64bit and installed libvirt. I have the VM
running with arm emulation with this one issue I can't figure out. I
used Virtual Machine Manager to manage the VM and can access its console
there. The Ethernet appears to be eth1 and the guest can set an IP on
it etc. However, I cannot see any traffic from the Host when dumping
any of the interfaces. I've tried several combinations of network
setups using the GUI and none appear to work. Optimally I'd like to
bridge to my primary interface (em1) and be able to pull an address and
talk directly to my network so I can download packages etc while in the
VM. I tried setting up networking in that fashion with:
Source Device : em1 with macvtap
Device Model: Hypervisor Default
Source Mode: Bridge
but alas I cannot pull dhcp nor can I set a static address and ping
other interfaces on the network.
It also appears that every time I start the VM it creates another vnetX
interface.
One of the troubleshooting pages I came across listed all the tools but
nothing about what to look for:

Any help I can get to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Very
frustrating...
