I have a virtual machine running under qemu-kvm, on a 13.10 host.I am using virt-manager to define the machine, and I have added a virtual NIC, using the new macvtap driver. I have the following definition:

<interface type='direct'>
<mac address='52:54:00:1f:dd:c4'/>
<source dev='eth0' mode='bridge'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
</interface>

On the host machine, I can see that the tap interface is created:

$ip link

5: macvtap0@eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT qlen 500
link/ether 52:54:00:1f:dd:c4 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

$ls /dev/tap5
/dev/tap5

But in the virtual machine, interface eth0 is unable to access the network. dhcp fails. Static configuration obviously works, but then I cannot ping anything.

I have no iptables rules, neither on the host, nor in the virtual machine.

So, how can I troubleshoot this problem ?

I have same problem with Ubuntu 13.10, I also update to 14.04 development branch to try but still does not work.

I do not know a good way debug, for my problem, I found eth0 does not enter promiscuous mode, I can not find message like

device eth0 entered promiscuous mode

in dmesg output. So I force eth0 into promiscuous mode, the problem then disappears.

This is what I did:

Force eth0 into promiscuous mode:sudo ifconfig eth0 promisc
Use virt-manager to start the VM

ifconfig -a

and ping outside to see whether it works for you.

I do not know why libvirt does not put eth0 into promiscuous mode, maybe a bug of it.
