A big limitation of the macvtap approach is that it would let you connect only a single VM to your WiFi.

Yes, defining a libvirt network requires using virsh net-define <xmlfile> (you may need to pass the not-so-secret vdsm@ovirt/shibboleth password to tinker with libvirt, which is better done on non-production setup) virsh net-dumpxml <net-name> could show you what's already defined, but I don't expect you to have interesting networks as of yet. It may not be easy, but I'd be grateful if you report here on what you will have accomplished. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
