Thread-topic: [Xen-users] invalid network interface after starting xend
Now i've added an ip address to peth0. so it looks like:

peth0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
          inet addr:192.168.1.51  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:74 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:5 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:8181 (7.9 Kb)  TX bytes:470 (470.0 b)
          Interrupt:16

Funny thing. It works. Even with an other mac address as the one of the
physical interface.
