[lxc-users] Problem starting container when network is set to macvlan (on an wlan physical interface)

[Gros Lalo]

Hi,

I am running latest LXD/LXC (version 2.18) distributed with Ubuntu 17.10. I
have 2 physical network interfaces on the computer: one ethernet and one
wifi. Earlier i was using the ethernet one and had a profile set to use
macvlan over it. Everything worked smoothly. Today, i had to move my router
away and hence switched to using the Wifi adapter on the host. Thus i
changed to another profile where I enabled macvlan over that wifi
interface. After this I am not able to get the network up in my container.
The container runs but,
1. lxc list <container_name> does not show any IP address.
2. inside of the container there is no network.
3. The host's network gets dropped (all my ssh connections to the machine
hosting the container ended).

I am wondering if this is a known issue and what is the work around.
Otherwise is it possible to get some tips on how to troubleshoot this
problem. Ideally i would like to use macvlan (instead of say bridge)

Thanks in advance
