McCune" Cc: xen-devel@lists.xensource.com, "Puthiyaparambil, Aravindh" List-Id: xen-devel@lists.xenproject.org I'm afraid I spoke too soon. vif = ['type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0'] gives me an eth0 in the guest, but there is no corresponding vifX.0 in dom0. Looking in /etc/xen/xmexample.hvm, I see the comment: # type=ioemu specify the NIC is an ioemu device not netfront I think vifX.0 is the backend, thus there is no reason for it to exist if the guest has no frontend. However, what do I do instead? I have been looking through documentation without luck. Thanks! -Jon Jonathan M. McCune wrote: > That did the trick.
