Description ALeX 2013-12-12 06:50:59 UTC
Created attachment 365130 [details]
emerge --info

The vtnet network interface driver displays the following message
upon configuration when using QEMU 1.4.0 or later:

 vtnet0: error setting host MAC filter table

The interface works normally when the interface has one MAC address.
However, if it has two or more MAC addresses configured, frames to
those additional MAC addresses are not forwarded to the vtnet
interface.  Thus, only the first MAC address works.

Full description and solution can be found there: http://www.freebsd.org/security/advisories/FreeBSD-EN-13:02.vtnet.asc

As described in this document we need apply patch: http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-13:02/vtnet.patch

It works for me, and i think we need add this patch to current sys-freebsd/virtio-kmod ebuild.

PS: I use app-emulation/libvirt-1.1.4 and app-emulation/qemu-1.6.1 on host.
