Hello,

I looked at the source code and saw the problem in
src/network/bridge_driver.c[1]:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
if ((network->def->ipAddress ||
     network->def->nranges) &&
    dhcpStartDhcpDaemon(conn, network) < 0)
    goto err_delbr2;
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The dhcpStartDhcpDaemon should be called only if network->def->nranges
is defined.

Regards.

Hi Daniel,
This was done on purpose so dnsmasq can provide DNS. See upstream commit

Ok, so there is one problem:

- the debian package should depends on dnsmasq since I can not start the
  default network

- the dnsmasq feature should be configurable in libvirt so we can
  disable it.

Regards.
