Re: [Xen-devel] pcnet32 device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization

["Jonathan M. McCune" <jonmccune@xxxxxxx>]

I'm afraid I spoke too soon. 

vif = ['type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0']
gives me an eth0 in the guest, but there is no corresponding vifX.0 in 
dom0.  Looking in /etc/xen/xmexample.hvm, I see the comment:
# type=ioemu specify the NIC is an ioemu device not netfront

I think vifX.0 is the backend, thus there is no reason for it to exist 
if the guest has no frontend.  However, what do I do instead?  I have 
been looking through documentation without luck.
Thanks!
