I'm trying to set up a USB modem passthrough in kvm virt-manager. The host is Fedora 20. The guest is Centos 6 $ ifconfig wlp0s29u1u6: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST, MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether 00:1a:3f:66:28:92 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 The modem works connecting from the host. As bridged networking does not work with wireless I installed this second USB modem. The primary one is PCI. I configured the passthrough in the virt-manager interface but when I try to start the guest I get this error message: Error starting domain: Cannot set interface MAC on 'wlp0s29u1u6': Device or resource busy Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 91, in cb_wrapper callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 127, in tmpcb callback(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 1260, in startup self._backend.create() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 708, in create if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self) libvirtError: Cannot set interface MAC on 'wlp0s29u1u6': Device or resource busy What to do?
