kvm networking (NAT) on debian unstable with libvirt

Already sent to libvirt without response.

Hi,

I'm trying to get NAT networking running as described in
http://libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html#examplesNAT

But in the guest, ifconfig shows only the lo interface. I created the kvm image (debian lenny 5.0.3) directly with qemu-img and kvm, because virt- install also didn't work. Afterwards I created the XML file for libvirt:

<domain type='kvm'>
<name>hadoop1</name> <uuid>c40b6644-362a-e5ab-8825-cd1a7fbe24eb</uuid> <memory>524288</memory> <currentMemory>524288</currentMemory> <vcpu>1</vcpu>
<os>

    <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc'>hvm</type>
    <boot dev='hd'/>
  </os>
  <features>
    <acpi/>
    <apic/>
    <pae/>
  </features>
  <clock offset='utc'/>
  <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff>
  <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot>
  <on_crash>restart</on_crash>
  <devices>
    <emulator>/usr/bin/kvm</emulator>
    <disk type='file' device='disk'>
      <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/>
      <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/hadoop1.qcow2'/>
      <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
    </disk>
    <interface type='network'>
      <mac address='52:54:00:05:74:bb'/>
      <source network='default'/>
      <model type='virtio'/>
    </interface>
    <!--serial type='pty'>
      <target port='0'/>
    </serial>
    <console type='pty'>
      <target port='0'/>
    </console-->
    <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/>
    <graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes' keymap='de-ch'/>
    <video>
      <model type='cirrus' vram='9216' heads='1'/>
    </video>

</devices>
</domain>

The network config is:

<network>
<name>default</name>
<bridge name="virbr0" />
<forward/>
<ip address="192.168.122.1" netmask="255.255.255.0">

    <dhcp>
      <range start="192.168.122.2" end="192.168.122.254" />
    </dhcp>

</ip>
</network>

ifconfig of the host (needs cleanup, I know):

The call to KVM from the libvirt log is (linebreaks by me):

LC_ALL=C PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin HOME=/root USER=root LOGNAME=root /usr/bin/kvm

               if=ide,index=0,boot=on,format=qcow2
