Re: How to use macvtap/macvlan correctly

I'm trying to get bridge-mode communication between a macvtap and a host
macvlan working correctly, but I think I must be doing something wrong as
the host macvlan and guest macvtap apparently can't communicate. I'm aware
that the underlying eth0 interface can't communicate with the macvtap, but I
thought that creating a host macvlan device and configuring that was the
standard work-around?

This turns out to be a bug in the kernel I'm using, 3.0.4, fixed by this
patch:
