I don't believe macvlan is supported on wifi devices at all. Whenever I try, not only does the macvtap device not work, but my host's wifi connection needs to be reset.
I can mark this as affecting the kernel, but this is not a qemu bug and I suspect that in the kernel it is simply not supported, just like bridging the wifi device. ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1174036 Title: macvtap not working on wifi device To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1174036/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
