[Lxc-users] PHYS type lxc not working

[atp]

You need to add a macvlan device to the parent device with the same
mode.

So, if you have a macvlan with a link device of eth0, you'll need to
create a macvlan device off eth0 - e.g. eth0:1 that is of mode bridge.

There was an email yesterday that showed how to do that.
