This seems to be partly reverting 21922:0232bc7c9544 "tools/hotplug,
Use udev rules instead of qemu script to setup the bridge."
I can't exactly follow the logic of 21922 but it seems to me that the
bug is that in the case of an interface of type vif which is later
renamed (by the code around line 75 of vif-common.sh in xen-unstable),
the shell variable dev is not changed.
The change you are proposing would also an effect in the case of
interfaces of type tap and I'm not convinced that in this case it
would do the right thing.
Anthony, Stefano: as the authors of 21922 would you care to comment ?
Ian.
