I have same situation, when i create a vm and then put inteface wlan to use macvtap dhclient never get any ip (in mode bridge with direct). BUt with wired interface dhclient works fine (same bridge and direct) Unless the wireless access point has special software to deal with it, I would be skeptical of this ever working - it's the same problem as trying to attach a wireless interface to a host bridge - the AP expects there to be only a single MAC address at the other end of any association. Macvtap is after all just a variation on an L2 bridge. *********** MASS BUG UPDATE ************** We apologize for the inconvenience. There are a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale. Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 21 kernel bugs. Fedora 21 has now been rebased to 3.18.3-201.fc21. Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel. If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those. *********** MASS BUG UPDATE ************** We apologize for the inconvenience.

If you have moved on to Fedora 22, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 22. If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those. create a vm setup macvtap with wireless card. I wouldn't mind if this is just closed NOTABUG per #c2, it sounds like this isn't really expected to work on wifi, but I don't think I can say that authoritatively enough to close it myself - I'd rather someone kernel-y does it. If NOTABUG doesn't do it for you, I can pick UPSTREAM or WONTFIX too. The very clear point is we aren't going to be looking at this anytime soon. |
