Re: [Xen-users] Networking change in Xen unstable

Hello Mark,
So, could you answer to my original question?
Networking change in unstable breaks my network configuration.
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward is not the culprit, since it's been
enabled for years.
What is veth0 thing?
Now I have to kill it after every reboot.
