Xen devel - Nov 2005 - vif interface creation problem with xen unstable

I''m using vif-route as my network script.
I''ve added set -x to the xen hotplug script change.  I''ve also
added a
command to do a listing of the xenstore directory.  Here''s the snippet:

=++ ip+++ xenstore_read_default backend/vif/4/0/ip ''''
+++ xenstore-read backend/vif/4/0/ip
xenstore-read: couldn''t read path backend/vif/4/0/ip
+++ echo ''''
++ ip++ xenstore-list backend/vif/4/0
mac
state
handle
script
frontend-id
domain
frontend
++ XENBUS_PATH=backend/vif/4/0
++ vif=vif4.0
=
There is no ip value set.  However, ip *is* set in the config file.

If I strace xm create, I get this:

=...
send(3, "POST /xend/domain HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: localhost\r\nAccept-Encoding:
identity\r\nContent-Length: 566\r\nContent-Type: application/x-www

The vif device looks wrong.

Here''s the changeset I am using:

Ah, found it.  Config file for 3.0 needs a vif stanza.
