Re: [Xen-users] OpenSUSE 11.4 (2.6.39-30.1), Xen 4.0.2 - Device 0 (vif) Could not be connected

Thanks to Mark and Dustin, I have made it a bit further.  I had to
modify the xend-configure.sxp to have (network-script 'network-bridge
bridge=br0 netdev=eth0') plus making the br0 device manually in
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-br0.

Now I have a VM (OpenSUSE 11.4, again) but I am getting

"Unable to configure the network card because the kernel device (eth0,
wlan0) is not present.  This is mostly caused by missing firmware (for
wlan devices).  See dmesg output for details."
