This is definitely the best way of doing things.  I've always thought
that the network-script thing was a terrible hack (and it's flaky
too).

Perhaps we should keep the script, but change the defaults and the
documentation ?

Would you be able to resubmit (some of) that as a .txt file for
inclusion in the xen-unstable tree, or copy it to the Xen wiki ?
I'm not exactly sure of the authorship and copyright status so I'm
