[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#531802: libvirt0: bridges containing VLAN interfaces are not recognized

[Andreas Unterkircher]

Package: libvirt0
Version: 0.6.3-4
Severity: normal


The following setup:

 * eth0 is a physical interface
 * eth1 is a physical interface

 * vlan152 is a VLAN interface on eth0 with ID 152

 * br0 is a bridge containing eth0
 * br1 is a bridge containing eth1
 * br2 is a bridge containing vlan152

The basic network connectivity, like it supposed to be, is working.
But only the physical interfaces appear in the listing:

virsh # nodedev-list --cap net
net_00_1b_78_31_3d_1a
net_00_1b_78_31_3d_70

The VLAN interface (which uses the same MAC address as its
physical interface) does not appear. So br2, the bridge containing
vlan152, can not be selected later.
