[libvirt-users] Cannot create macvlan devices on this platform

Hi, libvirt (0.9.11) refuses to start KVM based virtual machines on my system when changing the network connection from "host bridge" to "direct" (macvtap/macvlan), neither in "bridge" nor in "vepa" mode: "Cannot create macvlan devices on this platform" That's astonishing because I can easily setup working macvlan devices using the "ip" command: "ip link add link eth0 type macvlan". Would someone help me figure out the reason? Thanks in advance Michael -- EDV-Serviceteam Annika & Michael Hierweck GbR Egerstraße 53, 44225 Dortmund (Germany) http://www.edv-serviceteam.net
