Yep, if you've got a complicated setup you certainly don't want
xend messing with it.

If you've already got everything setup how you want before xend
starts, then just edit /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp to set:
 (network-script /bin/true)  

Thus, it won't execute /etc/xen/network at all.

You might find some of the stuff in /etc/xen/network useful, in
which case rename it and edit it to suit.

/etc/xen/network is just there to help out the majority of people
who have one physical interface and a single bridge and want
things working straight out of the box.

Best,
Ian
