Xen devel - Oct 2008 - driver domain backend vif stuck in initializing state

I am trying to setup a driver domain for a NIC.

I have passed through the device successfully and set
netif=1 in the driver domain config.
I also added the config to a guest domain vif=[''backend=7'']
(7 is the ID of the driver domain)

xenstore-ls /local/domain/7/backend/vif

shows that the state of the device is 1 (initializing)
(see below the email for the output)

On the guest I get:
XENBUS: Waiting for devices to initialise: 295s...290s...

And then we it finally boots I get:
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00

I am running xen-unstable.
The driver domain is Ubuntu HVM guest.
It is a VT-d system.
The device being passed is:
Intel Corporation 82566DM-2 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 02)

Suggestions on how to debug?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
Todd

You need the network backend driver running in the Device Driver domain.  That
probably doesn''t exist in the Ubuntu provided kernel for the HVM.
