Is it possible to clear nw filter at all? Yes, changing the filterref of the interface of a running domain has been supported since v1.0.1, but you've found a genuine bug! I've reproduced it on my system with the last sources from git, produced a patch to fix it, and posted it to the upstream list: http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2014-May/msg00005.html Once this is ACKed and pushed, I'll pull it into the maintenance branches back to 1.0.1.
