Xen users - Sep 2006 - Problem with network-bridge script and veth0

Hello,

	Since my last update of xen, I am having problems with bridges and xen.
When I want to start a bridge on the dom0 (to run a domU in a different
vlan than the default) I run

/etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge start netdev=eth0.302 bridge=xen-br302
antispoof=no

	where eth0.302 is an interface associated with my vlan 302 (it tags
with this vlan identifier).

	The problem I have is that it returns:

Link veth0 is missing.
This may be because you have reached the limit of the number of
interfaces that the loopback driver supports.  If the loopback driver is
a module, you may raise this limit by passing it as a parameter
(nloopbacks=<N>); if the driver is compiled statically into the kernel,
then you may set the parameter using loopback.nloopbacks=<N> on the
domain 0 kernel command line.

	I have checked the script and it fails because I don''t have any veth0
interface. I have interfaces veth1 to veth7, but I don''t have any
veth0,
so if I run the same command with parameter vifnum=1 (for example) it
works, because it uses veth1 instead of veth0 and add it to the new
bridge (although it seems that this is not really necessary, because if
I remove veth? from the bridge, networking still works).

	My question is if not having veth0 is wrong or I can just simply ignore
this and use other vifnum than 0.
