Hi, currently it is impossible to get useful network configuration for LXC containers on boot. (At least if they're managed via libvirt; I have no idea if anything is different with native LXC tooling). They're supposed to obtain their configuration via DHCP, but instead connection is assumed. Firstly because there's an IPv6 local link address that (I think) gets assigned when libvirt ups the interface and secondly because it's a software link.
Why do we assume connection on all software links? Virtual ethernet devices are supposed to behave much like ordinary ethernet devices; they have carrier detection, etc. I'm following up with the patches that resolve the problem for me, but I'm not quite sure about the special case for veth. Thoughts? Thank you, Lubo _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
