[Bug 1279176] Re: IPv6 fails when "<interface type='direct'>", on top of OVS

[Serge Hallyn]

Thanks for submitting this bug.

It appears to me that 'interface type='direct'' works only for macvlan
devices.  This would require you to use a real physical NIC, as in:

   <interface type='direct'>
      <source dev='eth0' mode='vepa'/>

For instance see http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html.

So if there is a bug it would seem to me to be in virt-manager, not
libvirt.  I'm not sure virt-manager has been taught about ovs at all so
this would be more of a missing feature than a bug.

I'll mark thsi bug as affecting virt-manager, and mark it as a feature
request ('confirmed/wishlist').

Could you please give some more details about the precise options you
chose when creating the VM in virt-manager?
