All,

This is a fresh, un-f#$ked-with OpenSUSE install after adding the Tumbleweed 
repository and doing a dup.  I installed the Hypervisor with Tools for which it 
prompted me for Xen or QEMU and I chose Xen.  No bridge was made.

When I go to create a fully virtualised machine, it nao has the error:
Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected.  Could not find the bridge, and 
none was specified.

The bit in the config file says:
# SuSE users note:# On openSUSE >= 11.1 and SLES >= 11, networks should be 
configured using# native platform tool - YaST.  vif-bridge and qemu-ifup can be 
used to
# connect vifs to the YaST-managed networks.#(network-script network-bridge)
So... how exactly is YaST supposed to do this...? 

-------------

you could try uncommenting
(network-script network-bridge)

chances are, you'll get a working network compatible with xen.

If you want to make a manual bridge,

----------------------- ifcfg-br0 ------------------
> sudo cat /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-br0
BOOTPROTO='dhcp'
BRIDGE='yes'
BRIDGE_FORWARDDELAY='0'
BRIDGE_PORTS='eth0'
BRIDGE_STP='off'
BROADCAST=''
ETHTOOL_OPTIONS=''
IPADDR=''
MTU=''
NETMASK=''
NETWORK=''
REMOTE_IPADDR=''
STARTMODE='auto'
USERCONTROL='no'
#ETHTOOL_OPTIONS='wol g'
---------------- snip -----------

backup/archive the ifcfg-eth0

Only one should be active at a time.
