Hello,
I’m trying to get an irda adapter work with KVM. I’m on Ubuntu 13.04 64 bits.
Irda adapter is attached to USB (Bus 002 Device 005: ID 9710:7780 MosChip Semiconductor MCS7780 4Mbps Fast IrDA Adapter) and I got it working with irda-utils. Ifconfig output:
irda0 Link encap:IrLAP HWaddr c6:ef:4f:83
UP RUNNING NOARP MTU:2048 Metric:1
Packets reçus:0 erreurs:0 :0 overruns:0 frame:0

collisions:0 lg file transmission:8
Octets reçus:0 (0.0 B) Octets transmis:108136 (108.1 KB)
When I try to add the device with virt-manager as a macvtap peripheral (VEPA), I get the following error : error creating macvtap type of interface attach to irda0: Invalid argument.
<interface type="direct">
<mac address="52:54:00:c5:ef:66"/>
<source mode="vepa" dev="irda0"/>
<address type="pci" domain="0x0000" bus="0x00" slot="0x08" function="0x0"/>
</interface>
Any ideas?
