Bug#678386: Missing Constant Definition for macvlan
Package: linux-libc-dev
Version: 2.6.32-45
Severity: normal
Tags: squeeze
The maclvlan network interfaces was backported to the 2.6.32 kernel
release. But some definitions are missing in the headers so that
software compiled against there headers are not able to use this
interface type.
For example, libvirt cannot create macvlan interfaces.
"This error message occurs if macvtap support was missing when libvirt
was compiled. Based on the configure.ac check, whoever compiled your
libvirt package did not have new enough kernel headers to have the
following constants present
MACVLAN_MODE_BRIDGE
IFLA_VF_MAX
which should be in linux/rtnetlink.h"
There constants are missing in Debian Squeeze.
