i am trying to create a macvlan type network device on a clean arch install but i get the error
Error: Unknown device type

i am running the following command

sudo ip link add macv0 link eth0 type macvlan mode passthru

PS. this works in the arch running on WSL with linux: 5.15.133.1-microsoft-standard-WSL2
