Description:
libvirt 1.2.4 seems to require ebtables installed to create virbr0. Using NAT in VM settings. After I installed ebtables and restarted libvirtd everything worked well.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
libvirt 1.2.4-1
* config and/or log files etc.
May 06 11:47:53 think libvirtd[1451]: libvirt version: 1.2.4
May 06 11:47:53 think libvirtd[1451]: direct firewall backend requested, but /sbin/ebtables is not available: No such file or directory


Steps to reproduce:
Use libvirt without ebtables (there is no dependency).
This task depends upon

Actually there is a dependency, it's just optional. It's also hard to know what to use it for since there's no description.

I've fixed optdeps description in svn:
'ebtables: for networking'
hope it is enough
