Hello, I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction regarding issues I have starting up libvirt services on MacOS Sonoma. I am running:

macOS Sonoma 14.5 llibvirt: stable 10.4.0 (bottled) qemu: stable 9.0.1 (bottled)

I have the following entries in libvirt.conf: listen_tls = 0 listen_tcp = 1 listen_addr = "0.0.0.0" unix_sock_group = "libvirt" unix_sock_ro_perms = "0777" unix_sock_rw_perms = "0770" unix_sock_admin_perms = "0700" unix_sock_dir = "/opt/homebrew/var/run/libvirt" auth_unix_ro = "none" auth_unix_rw = "none" auth_tls = "none" tls_no_sanity_certificate = 1 tls_no_verify_certificate = 1 log_filters="1:qemu 1:libvirt 4:object 4:json 2:event 1:util" log_outputs="1:file:/opt/homebrew/var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log"

I added ```firewalld = 0``` and ```irewall_backend = "none"```. These made no difference, I have since removed both. Snippets of the log in debug mode indicate a usable firewall backend cannot be found, is there a way to resolve this on macOS?

This is a regression in the latest release we're working on fixing. https://lists.libvirt.org/archives/list/devel@lists.libvirt.org/thread/GH3AF... Impact is basically all non-linux platforms using the network driver.
