Description zasire 2011-11-09 21:06:18 UTC 
compiling iproute2 with minimal useflag won't create "ip". its needed to create a network like virbr0 with libvirt. this likely causes apps like virt-manager to crash while creating new machines.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="minimal" emerge iproute2
2. emerge libvirt
3. /etc/init.d/libvirt start

Actual Results:  
with running network manager you can see this in /var/log/messages/

NetworkManager[7453]: <warn> /sys/devices/virtual/net/virbr0: couldn't determine device driver; ignoring...

Starting virt-manager will not show any network device and most likely crash while creating and starting a new machine.

Expected Results:  
existing virtual device like virbr0.
