Hi,
Could anyone help I'm getting the following error when I tried to add a
new network interface.

DETAILS


Connection
---------------------------
import libvirt
conn = libvirt.open('qemu:///system')

Interface XML
----------------------

<interface type="bridge" name="br0">
   <start mode="onboot"/>
   <mtu size="1500"/>
   <protocol family="ipv4">
     <dhcp/>
   </protocol>
   <bridge stp="off" delay="0.01">

       <mac address="ab:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff"/>

That's because you've libvirt compiled with udev rather than netcf. The netcf is the only one backend that knows how to create a new interface.

Install netcf and rebuild libvirt and you should be able to create interfaces via libvirt.
