Vagrant hangs with message "Waiting for domain to get an IP address..."

please keep in mind that it may no longer be accurate or even relevant.
The problem may be (it was in my case) that there are firewall rules preventing NAT firewall rules for the virbr0 network device created by Vagrant via libvirt, which may look like the following (excerpt of iptables -L -n):
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT all -- 0.0.0.0/0 192.168.121.0/24 ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED
ACCEPT all -- 192.168.121.0/24 0.0.0.0/0
One possible fix is to disable those restrictive rules (for example, clear all iptables rules before starting the Vagrant machine).
