FWIW, I've been vaguely following that bug, but I have never once actually hit it in the last few releases; networking in my VM test installs has always worked fine. I guess I assumed it was pretty much fixed now and only affecting some weird corner case. I don't think I adjusted my host's network config to avoid the bug, or anything - virbr0 is still on 192.168.122.1 . -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
