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.

This is present.

This relates to SR-IOV VF configuration which is not supported in Linux
2.6.32.

This is not a bug, so closing this.
