Since the Xen network scripts set up a bridge, all layer 2 traffic is
visible at the network interfaces of your unprivileged domains. You
don't need to bother with the vif interfaces. Just configure your eth0
inside the guest domain with a valid network setting and packets should
get to your network interface.
