[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#520088: virt-manager: adding additional network adapter - inconsistency between libvirt and xend

[Andreas Unterkircher]

Package: virt-manager
Version: 0.6.0-6
Severity: normal


I created a new guest via virt-manager. When the wizard asks for, I
configured a shared physical device for the initial network adapter.

Then I added another network adapter, this time one for a virtual
network.  When I finished this wizard, in the hardware-tab of
virt-manager, the new network adapter replaced the menu-entry of
the existing one. The previous network adapter is no longer
visible or manageable with in virt-manager.

The XML dump by virsh now just shows up one network adapter (see
below). While in xend's domain file in /var/lib/xend/domains,
there are indeed two network adapters:

    (device
        (vif
            (bridge br0)
            (mac 00:16:36:4a:4d:9a)
            (script vif-bridge)
            (uuid a1664761-2c3e-75dd-e524-291fb21291f0)
            (backend 0)
        )
    )
    (device
        (vif
            (bridge virbr1)
            (mac 00:16:36:50:c5:6b)
            (script vif-bridge)
            (uuid 2190565d-760a-4018-1c93-1d79af07b074)
            (backend 0)
        )
    )

And also within the running guest, two network adapters are there.

Andreas
