I'm sure lutter is listening ;-) While we're tossing thanks around, the real thanks go to you for adding virInterface support into virt-manager. The feature didn't really seem finished until now. I've noticed a couple problems that I thought I should list: 1) the "delay" property in bridges is a float, not an integer, so the spinner object you use to set it doesn't work for real-world values. 2) When a bridge is created based on an IP interface that uses DHCP, the <dhcp> node of the ethernet's XML (and actually the entire <protocol> node) isn't moved over to the bridge. This leaves me with a non-functioning network that I must fix with ncftool. It would be very useful if a bridge created from an existing ethernet inherited all <protocol> nodes from the ethernet. I would try my hand at coming up with a patch for these two items, but my list is already too long ;-) _______________________________________________ virt mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/virt
