[Xen-users] Constructor code in MAC address does matter ?

[Jean-Christophe Guillain <jcg@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I observed a strange networking behaviour of my Debian virtual host in 
function of the MAC address I use. It seems that when I use an existing 
constructor code, networking works without any problem, but is impossible in 
the other case...
Ex. :
- vif = [ 'mac=aa:00:00:00:00:55, bridge=xen-br0' ] -> no problem
- vif = [ 'mac=df:00:00:00:00:55, bridge=xen-br0' ] -> the bridge does not 
transmit my packets apparently. No DHCP possible, and when I used a static 
address I can't ping the bridge from the guest... 

Is it normal ? Is it really related to constructor code ? 

I use a Xen 2.0.6 on a Debian Sarge host with kernels 2.6.11.12-xen0/u...
