Yes, this package was installed during my tests.

I have restored the original file:
------
(network-script network-dummy)
(vif-script vif-bridge)
(dom0-min-mem 196)
(dom0-cpus 0)
(vncpasswd '')
-------

And restarted xendomains and xend. Then over the serial console:
xen:~# ifconfig eth1 down
xen:~# ifconfig xenbr0 up
xenbr0: ERROR while getting interface flags: Onjuist apparaat

"Onjuist apparaat" is Dutch, translated: "Wrong device".

I tried also using the name "xenbr1".
My firewall accepts all traffic to both xenbr0 and 1.

With regards,
Paul van der Vlis.
