Summary: xend "hides" network interfaces Product: Xen Version: unstable Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Tools AssignedTo: xen-@lists.xensource.com ReportedBy: ehrh@linux.vnet.ibm.com

Using a xend configuration with a named bridge like: (network-script 'network-bridge bridge=perfnet netdev=eth1') let xend "hide" the network interface from the system.

The related messages like driver init etc. appear in dmesg, var/log/messages, ... as usual while booting/running Dom0, but after xend starts the bridge-configured network device is "lost" e.g. unusable and "ifconfig -a" does no more show it.

Unfortunately it is not 100% reproducible, but I'll try if someone asks for specific details or logs.
