Xen devel - Dec 2005 - [PATCH] make network-bridge work in more environments

The attached patch (against xen-unstable) generalizes the network-bridge
(and xen-network-common.sh) script so they work:
  (a) in non-Gentoo environments missing ifup/down
  (b) when interpreted by a simple-minded shell (e.g. busybox sh)
  (c) with kernel-level ip=dhcp (no longer rely on parsing ip params from
the kernel cmd line)

It should still work in all the old cases.  I''ve verified it still
works on
my
FC4-IA32e domain 0, as well as under busybox.

Dave

Thanks for the patch, but please can we have a signed-off-by: line

Dear Mr Virtual,

I suspect that Dave Virtual may not be your real name.

I can take legal advice on whether I can accept a patch from a source
that I suspect may be operating under a pseudonym, but I thought I might
contact you to see whether you would be prepared to reveal your true
identity in a signed-off-by: line?
 
The OSDL DCO does create extra some extra ''paperwork'', but
it''s surely
important that we cover our collective arses. As a supporter of the Xen
project I''m sure you appreciate that.

Thanks,
Ian

PS: If your name really is Mr Virtual, I apologise profusely. With a
name like that you should definitely be working for XenSource Inc.
We''re
always hiring, so please send us your CV! :-)
