If one cannot tell libvirt "there is br0, even if netcf doesn't tell you about it, please offer it to your users as available", then yes, that's the issue. > The reason why you are able to see some interfaces is the libvirt can also > provide a list of host devices via nodedev driver (virsh nodedev-list) and > you can filter the list of host devices to list only network devices > (virsh nodedev-list --cap net). Thanks, that explains it: | 1 [3/869]mh@gancho:~ $ virsh nodedev-list --cap net | net_dummy0_06_6a_32_42_0d_41 | net_dummy1_a2_8b_d6_f2_7e_42 | net_eth0_6c_62_6d_d7_51_a3 | net_lo_00_00_00_00_00_00 | net_vnet0_fe_54_00_49_6d_5f | | [4/870]mh@gancho:~ $ The nodedev driver is part of libvirt? or part of the kernel?

And netcf in Debian is not very current :-( Frankly, I don't think that it is possible to have a single library that can parse all distribution-specific methods of network configuration, so libvirt needs some manual method to tell it what network interfaces are available to choose.
