Hi,
I have libnl3, kernel 3.8.8, os ubuntu 12.04, net:intel10G.
Upgrade libnl to 3.2.16 not helps,

I don't know - this is probably another problem, when I have set
max_vfs=35,35 VF is attaching to VM but mac in VM is not set
propertly.
Libvirt probably set this macs because in syslog:
May 23 14:48:59 on-10-177-32-62 kernel: [12574.171792] ixgbe
0000:01:00.0: setting MAC 52:54:0a:b1:48:f7 on VF 0
May 23 14:48:59 on-10-177-32-62 kernel: [12574.171799] ixgbe
0000:01:00.0: Reload the VF driver to make this change effective.
May 23 14:48:59 on-10-177-32-62 kernel: [12574.175054] ixgbe
0000:01:00.1: setting MAC 52:54:0a:b1:48:f7 on VF 0
May 23 14:48:59 on-10-177-32-62 kernel: [12574.175060] ixgbe
0000:01:00.1: Reload the VF driver to make this change effective.
May 23 14:48:59 on-10-177-32-62 kernel: [12574.307172] pci-stub
0000:01:12.4: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)
May 23 14:49:00 on-10-177-32-62 kernel: [12575.662890] assign device 0:1:12.4
May 23 14:49:00 on-10-177-32-62 kernel: [12575.665210] pci-stub
0000:01:12.5: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)
May 23 14:49:00 on-10-177-32-62 kernel: [12575.765609] assign device 0:1:12.5
But in VM i have another macs probably old from VF.
