[Avocado-devel] Forced values at /etc/avocado/conf.d/vt.conf

[Lukáš Doktor]

Hello Andrei,

It is actually a bug. Supported options are bridge, user and none, where 
the none should not override the config, but it does. Please let me know 
whether this fix works for you 
https://github.com/avocado-framework/avocado-vt/pull/742

(you need to set the config option net_type to "none". It won't work if 
you leave the option without value)

Regards,
Lukáš
