[lxc-users] Hotplug new network interfaces not working

[CDR]

Dear Friends
I have a Fedora 20 LXC (libirt) container in production and I cannot reboot it.
So I used "virsh edit mycontainer" and added several

<interface type='direct'>
      <mac address='00:5A:0C:18:C9:E9'/>
      <source dev='eth1' mode='bridge'/>
    </interface>

The problem is that after it gets saved, the new interfaces never show
up in ip link, and I have no idea how to make Fedora under LXC to
check for the new hardware.
Is this a limitation of LXC in general?
I bet there is a workaround.

Yours
Philip
