[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#396477: network-bridge script exits prematurely

[Miquel van Smoorenburg]

Package: xen-utils-common
Version: 3.0+hg11624-2
Severity: normal

I'm running etch with xen 3.0.3 with a hand-compiled 2.6.18.1
kernel. The /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge fails to run,
because it (effectively) does this:

	set -e

	modprobe netloop > /dev/null 2>&1

As I do not have a netloop module (where is it supposed to come
from ? The 2.6.18.1 xen-patched kernel doesn't have the string
netloop in there anywhere) the script exits right there.

The following patch fixes it:
