+ If you're using a script such as /etc/qemu-ifup to set up QEMU network
+ interfaces, have a look at README.Debian about the new config option
+ clear_emulator_capabilities in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf.
+ When using NAT via libvirt's default network you don't have to change

 Access to the libvirt socket is controlled by membership in the "libvirt" group.
 If you want to manage VMs as non root you need to add a user to that group.

+QEMU/KVM: Dropping Capabilties
+==============================
+Network interfaces of type "ethernet" use a script like /etc/qemu-ifup to set up
+the network device. In order to make this work you need to set
+"clear_emulator_capabilities" to "0" in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf since you need
+CAP_NET_ADMIN.
+This used to be the default prior to 0.8.1 in the Debian package.
