Re: [Xen-users] xen on openSUSE

[Danilo Godec <danilo.godec@xxxxxxxxx>]

Take a look at this -
http://www.novell.com/communities/node/5071/sles-10-sp2-networking-under-xen-troubleshooting-and-recommendations

Novell recommends a manual bridging setup using 'standard' SuSE scripts
and disable Xen 'network-bridge' scripts. The document describes SLES,
but I use the same approach on several OpenSuSE based Xen servers, some
of then featuring three network cards and VLAN's (that's where things
got complicated with Xen scripts).

OTOH I never had a problem with OpenSuSE and Xen scripts when only one
network card was used.

 Best regards, Danilo
