Hello,
I would like to create rootful containers with static IPv4 and IPv6
addresses that are part of my network (containers that somehow act as
physical devices on my network).
From what I understand in the documentation [1], the macvlan driver
should be my preferred option with netavark.
[1]
https://github.com/containers/podman/blob/main/docs/tutorials/basic_netwo...
My problem is that I get an error when starting a container attached to
a macvlan network created with an IPv6 subnet:
Error: netavark: failed configure macvlan: IO error: failed to add
route: Invalid argument (os error 22)
FYI, as long as the maclan network is created without IPv6 subnet, I can
create new podman containers without error.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Maybe I'm missing something important
from the documentation. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
