If it's getting too complicated to handle, just use OS's networking
script to create bridge and simply comment-out network-script entry on
xend-config.sxp.

Sorry, I've never used F8.
What does "brctl show" shows using the default setup? I'm guessing it
has something to do with the fact that default bridge name changed
from xenbr0 to eth0. Again, I'd recommend creating bridges using OS's
networking script (/etc/sycsonfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*)

virbr0 is created by libvirt. tap0 and vif11.0 is HVM domU's
interfaces. Don't know about br0.
