Description

In Corral we had the option to choose the NIC for our VMs. Not having this ability in FreeNAS 11 was like a big monkey wrench thrown into my isolated network setup. I have read at least one other FreeNAS forum member ask the same question. Certainly, there are even more FreeNAS users who would find this option immensely useful.

feat(vm): Add the capability for guests to choose which nic it will be attached to. We create dynamically a bridge(4) with the chosen NIC and attach the guest's tap(4) interface to it.
