RE: [Xen-devel] Networking in dom0

["Carb, Brian A" <Brian.Carb@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dave,

We get nothing back from 'ip route list default scope global'. You are
correct that we do not define a default gateway, although i don't
believe it is required for linux networking, and we never have defined
one. Xen networking components did get created for us at some previous
changest level, although I'm not sure exactly when they stopped working.

[Re-cc'd xen-devel, so they can see what's going on here ...]

Thanks Brian.  The 'ip route list' output you helpfully provided shows
the problem: you have no default route.  A default route will show up in
'ip route list' as something like:
default via x.x.x.x dev eth0

Since changeset 9995 (roughly a week ago), the network-bridge script has
depended on being able to find the default route from the 'ip route
list'
output (if you don't specify a vifnum explicitly).  I didn't make that
change (though I modified it later), so I'm not sure whether your
configuration would have worked 'as is' with the old code or not.  Do
you get anything back from: 'ip route list default scope global'?
