Xen users - Jul 2012 - Virtualized NIC in Xen

What kind of NIC does a VM see when run in Xen? We would be interested
in getting BareMetal Node running on it.

If you run a full virtualized VM (HVM), it would be some RTL card, just 
like under QEMU.

In paravirtualized (PV) mode, it would be a specialized xen network 
device. dmesg see it as:
"netfront: Initialising virtual ethernet driver"
...and a ethX is just registred in the kernel. No extra modules are loaded.

BareMetal Node within a Xen VM? Normally, you do just the opposite.
