Created attachment 297313 [details] bring the macvlan device up The macvlan net module does not bring the interface it creates up. In my setup (eth0 left unconfigured, a macvlan device as primary network interface) this is undesirable. The attached patch (with the _up call stolen from the tuntap module) makes the following /etc/conf.d/net work: config_eth0="null" macvlan_macvlan0="eth0" mode_macvlan0="bridge" config_macvlan0="192.168.1.7/24" routes_macvlan0="default via 192.168.1.254"
This is applied in commit 2471d74. Thanks for the report and the patch. :-)
