OK .. be nice to get this working some time with libguestfs, for those
libguestfs applications that use the (not-enabled-by-default) network
support. eg. virt-builder, virt-customize, virt-rescue --network.
Especially having 'ping' work would be a major breakthrough :-)
When you say "virbr0 is set up correctly" does that mean virbr0 is set
up using the 192.168.122 network, or just that virbr0 exists and is
working in some respect? Most of my machines have virbr0 bridged to
the physical ethernet device.
I just meant 'virbr0 exists'. Which requires libvirt-daemon-config-network to
be installed, the 'default' network to be running and set to autostart.
