VMs can't boot with Network Mode set to Bridged on Apple M5 Pro machines

[elusiveshiba]

Describe the issue
Can't boot VMs with Network Mode set to 'Bridged' on machines with the new Apple M5 Pro
I tested the latest ubuntu-24.04.4-live-server-arm64.iso
It boots fine with Network Mode set to 'Host Only' or 'Extended'

Configuration

• UTM Version: 4.7.5 (118)
• macOS Version: 26.3.1 (a)
• Mac Chip (Intel, M1, ...): M5 Pro

Crash log
The app doesn't crash, it just sits on the loading screen immediately after pressing run

Debug log
Unfortunately it doesn't get to a point where the option to export the debug log is shown

Upload VM
config.plist.zip

Yes I am experiencing the same issue on my m5 pro.

Same here

I am also experiencing the same issue. I tried Oracle Virtualbox and again hit the exact same problem. Bridged networking is broken on my M5 Air.

Interestingly, it also appears to be affecting Parallels as well (https://forum.parallels.com/threads/any-users-having-issues-with-the-new-macbook-air-with-m5-and-n1-network-chip.369654/)

So it seems that there's a wider issue with support for the new N1 chips perhaps?

seems to be wider:
