Thanks for submitting this bug.

It appears to me that 'interface type='direct'' works only for macvlan devices. This would require you to use a real physical NIC, as in:

   <interface type='direct'>
      <source dev='eth0' mode='vepa'/>

For instance see http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html.

So if there is a bug it would seem to me to be in virt-manager, not libvirt. I'm not sure virt-manager has been taught about ovs at all so this would be more of a missing feature than a bug.

I'll mark thsi bug as affecting virt-manager, and mark it as a feature request ('confirmed/wishlist').

Could you please give some more details about the precise options you chose when creating the VM in virt-manager?
