Presumably the occasional desktop user would use virt manager which will
by default attach a veth nic to virbr0?
The reason this bug was raised is that /etc/qemu-ifup assumes the
default route has been bridged.
For the moment, we always create a virbr0, so perhaps qemu-ifup should
attach tap0 to virbr0? In fact it is quite easy to check whether the
nic on the default route is a bridge. And/or perhaps the switch should
be configurable in /etc/default/qemu-kvm?
So /etc/default/qemu-kvm could contain:
# Uncomment this if you want to specify a bridge to use for tap devices
# TAPBR=virbr0
Then /etc/qemu-ifup could read:
#!/bin/sh
[ -f /etc/default/qemu-kvm ] && . /etc/default/qemu-kvm
if [ -z "$TAPBR" ]; then
switch=$(ip route list | awk '/^default / { print $5 }')
if [ -z "${TAPBR}" -o ! -d "/sys/class/net/${TAPBR}/bridge" ]; then
switch=virbr0
fi
fi
ifconfig $1 0.0.0.0 up
brctl addif ${switch} $1
