Description of problem: At first, this was filed with virt-manager as I'm using that one instead of virsh to manage my VMs - see also bug #1225771. It seems libvirt holds incorrect name for the wireless LAN, probably as a result of a rename between Fedora upgrades - I'm hitting this error since updgrade from F21 to F22. In my case, there's no "wlan0" anymore, but "wlp3s0" instead. However, wlan0 is still the one in libvirt's records: [0] alatyr/~ # virsh nodedev-list | grep wlan net_wlan0_xx_xx_xx_xx_xx_xx [0] alatyr/~ # virsh nodedev-dumpxml net_wlan0_xx_xx_xx_xx_xx_xx error: unable to read: /sys/class/net/wlan0/operstate: No such file or directory There's also the new name correctly recorded: [0] alatyr//home/peter # virsh nodedev-list | grep wlp net_wlp3s0_xx_xx_xx_xx_xx_xx [0] alatyr//home/peter # virsh nodedev-dumpxml net_wlp3s0_xx_xx_xx_xx_xx_xx <device> <name>net_wlp3s0_xx_xx_xx_xx_xx_xx</name> <path>/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.1/0000:03:00.0/net/wlp3s0</path> <parent>pci_0000_03_00_0</parent> <capability type='net'> <interface>wlp3s0</interface> <address>xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx</address> <link state='down'/> <capability type='80211'/> </capability> </device> Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [0] alatyr/~ $ rpm -q libvirt libvirt-1.2.13.1-1.fc22.x86_64 If you need more debug info, just tell I'll paste it here...
Sorry this didn't receive a timely response. Can you still reproduce on f23+ ?
Nope, I can't reproduce this anymore. So I think we can close this one.
