   * ''posixacl'' turns on passing POSIX ACLs (very convenient for using ''getfacl'' and ''setfacl'' to fine tune permissions).
+====== Setting Custom Interface Name for Bridge Networking Mode ======
+libvirt allows using:
+<code>
+<target dev='...'/>
+</code>
+to set the custom name for bridge interfaces such as ''vnet0'', ''vnet1'', etc...
+However, if the name of the interface contains the substring ''vnet'', libvirt will ignore the entry and will not save it, for instance, setting the interface name with:
+<code>
+<target dev='vnet888'/>
+</code>
+will just be ignored by libvirt.
+To resolve this issue, use a more custom-tailored interface name, for instance:
+<code>
+<target dev='mynet0'/>
+</code>
+without containing the ''vnet'' substring.
