Hi,
I'm not sure what is going on and not sure either how to debug this. I'm travelling tomorrow and I would really need to have my VM's network stack working while my host can also browse the internet. Basically, when I have my laptop on wired eth connection, QEMU networking works fine, but when I want to use the WiFi it doesn't work on both ends host/VM; dns queries don't get resolved, ping don't work and routing tables get messed up.
I have installed QEMU/KVM with virt-manager. One of the optional dependencies is dnsmasq so I also installed that, but is not working as it should. I've added libvirtd and dnsmasq to default runlevel on my OpenRC.
❯ sudo rc-service -l | grep -E "dns|libvirt"
dnsmasq
libvirt-guests
libvirtd
❯ sudo rc-status
Runlevel: default
dbus [ started 00:07:06 (0) ]
wpa_supplicant [ started ]

agetty.tty3 [ started 00:07:03 (0) ]
Dynamic Runlevel: hotplugged
Dynamic Runlevel: needed/wanted
virtlogd [ started ]
Dynamic Runlevel: manual
dnsmasq
As you can see in the following snippet, the service goes up but hen some seconds later it goes down.
❯ sudo rc-service dnsmasq start; sudo rc-service dnsmasq status
* Starting dnsmasq ... [ ok ]
* status: started
❯ sudo rc-service dnsmasq status
* status: stopped
Not sure if it's useful but here you have the xml config from the virt-manager virtual network I'm using.

Perhaps it's related but wpa_supplicant disables the SSID that I'm using at the moment trying to debug this. Also I want to mention I'm running too with dhcpcd, would that be causing any issues here?
Thanks in advance for your time and help!
