no, just thought that since it's included in the kvm distribution I'd
use it. Seemed a logical conclusion that this one would be the
recommended way to do it. I'll just as happy convert to the distribution
scripts now. But maybe it's a good idea then to remove the script and
replace it with a text file on how to setup the config files. If you
don't remove the script maybe the patch can go in? At least it makes the
script more robust than it is.

You seem to use the same MAC address for both your interfaces Avi. Is
this on purpose?
