Hello,

we are using kvm for wifidog, a wifi portal. In our case, we have lots of VLANS, and those vlans are connected on separate bridges on the host. So, for the kvm machine running wifidog, we're having lots of virtual nics (more than 10). Launching kvm, we had this error mesage : Too many nics.

The limit seems hardcoded in qemu (in qemu/net.h), I've changed MAX_NICS from 8 to 24, and this seems to do the trick.

Is there any adverse effects doing this ? Is the limit arbitrary , or there for a good reason ?

Cheers,
