From e11d8f15e8d7559bc70ebef2dd0125be9d692da5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: baude <bbaude@redhat.com> Date: Mon, 1 Feb 2021 14:42:38 -0600 Subject: add macvlan as a supported network driver instead of using the --macvlan to indicate that you want to make a macvlan network, podman network create now honors the driver name of *macvlan*. Any options to macvlan, like the parent device, should be specified as a -o option. For example, -o parent=eth0. the --macvlan option was marked as deprecated in the man page but is still supported for the duration of 3.0.
