Network interface configuration depending on kernel PCI address

[timofurrer]

If I have an udev rule like this:

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", SUBSYSTEMS=="pci", KERNELS=="0000:01:00.0", NAME="net0"

Is there a way to emulate this PCI address in LXC? The documentation does not mention anything like that. The closest config was the lxc.network.hwaddr which does not help in this case.

No, there's no way to emulate the PCI address. In contrast to VM's the devices you hand in the container are exactly the same device as on the host. So assigning a new PCI address won't work. Additionally, udev rules won't work inside containers since only the init network namespace receives uevents. Sorry.
