Thanks. Im very sorry, but im very new to virtualization on Linux. Right now, ive done the 'all in one install' of ovirt on a single fedora 19 machine. Any pointers to docs on what best to do next is appreciated. Im currently trying to make sense of this: http://www.ovirt.org/Quick_Start_Guide So perhaps the macvtap question was not entirely the best place to start here for me. ;) Anyway, as far as I can tell, there seems to be an issue with the detection of my wireless wifi network interface 'wlp2s0'. I can attach the 'ovirtmgmt' network to my standard wired ethernet interface 'p2p2', but that device is not in use on the machine and it is disconnected from the network. Reading about linux virt and issues with bridging with wifi NIC's on the web made me, perhaps incorrectly here, assume that a wifi nic might be an issue, so thats where the question about macvtap came from. Manual setup of macvtap seems to work, as i can do this without issues on a root prompt on the same machine: ip link add link wlp2s0 name macvtap0 type macvtap ip link set macvtap0 address 1a:46:0b:ca:bc:7b up ip link show macvtap0 But the wifi interface 'wlp2s0' does not seem to show up in the ovirt web gui interface. Im sorry if I sound confusing here, but that may be just because im really still confused about ovirt. ;) So any pointers on what to read or do is appreciated, Regards, John SMith. _______________________________________________ virt-tools-list mailing list virt-tools-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/virt-tools-list
