So, upgrading to 4.1.0 had no effect on my wireless issue.
When I start xend and try to have it create a bridge using my wireless nic it kills the interface. The only way to get the wireless back up is to reload the driver and restart the interface.
I use Gentoo Linux. Before I start I have an interface for eth0 (wired), eth1 (wireless), and lo. After, I have eth0, peth1, and lo.
The only change I made to xend-config.sxp was:
(network-script ‘network-bridge netdev=eth1’)
If I don’t make this change it uses both wired and wireless and creates peth0 and peth1, but eth1 still vanishes.
If I change it to eht0 it does nothing to the wireless and only creates the peth0 as expected.
When I start I get a message:
Bridge eth1 does not exist!
The logs show:

Is there a solution? I have found others who reported similar issues on different Linux flavors who were directed to other virtual daemons.
I like xen, I don’t plan to go elsewhere.
