Xen users - Dec 2006 - problems with vitrual network interfaces

Hi All

I am having an issue with xenU domains with 2 or more virtual network
interfaces.

When the domains boot,  the vif''s are created, but the domain assigns
odd
ethxx numbers to them, instead of eth0, eth1...

Any ideas no how to fix it so that I get concistent eth0, eth1 in the domU
when it boots?

  Probably the easiest solution is to set fixed MAC addresses in the
vif configuration for the domain, and then use nameif in the domU to
give the interfaces consistent names based on their MAC address.
