Unable to add bridge orange0 port vnet0: Operation not supported

So now after a few gray hairs more and 2h thrill it runs again but questions remain.

My procedure was as follows because only partial success was achieved by changing the zones.

  1. i have set everything in the zone area to “Standard” (Default)
  2. set the mode assignment to -None- everywhere
  3. via the console completely removed the network card assignment and reconfigured.
  4. reboot
  5. in the zone configuration set the following because I have VM`s in Orange and Green network.

  1. restart

Result is, that all VM`s start again and are reachable.

Open questions:

I have now in the “/var/ipfire/ethernet/settings” the following configuration and there are MAC addresses that are completely unknown to me. I have only the following hardware MAC addresses with me but what are the addresses at the values ,GREEN_MACADDR, ORANGE_MACADDR?

Then I have also during the boot process funny entries regarding firewall (iptables) that something was not found but that was unfortunately quickly over and I have to search it again.
