Thanks for the description.  It really helps.

Can this description go into http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenNetworking ?  That page is actually quite misleading at times, as it stands.

You're right.  I should have kept it clean.  No one on this list is responsible for the omissions of the Xen developers, who are probably doing a pretty good job.  I think I just got unlucky.

Whether the comment was justified or not is beside the point.

Thanks for the generous offer, however, the problem is now solved.  Hopefully, the last such problem!
