[Xen-users] Starting xend = loss of wireless connection

["Marc Tousignant" <myrdhn@xxxxxxxxx>]

So, upgrading to 4.1.0 had no effect on my wireless issue.

When I start xend and try to have it create a bridge using my wireless nic it kills the interface. The only way to get the wireless back up is to reload the driver and restart the interface.

 

I use Gentoo Linux. Before I start I have an interface for eth0 (wired), eth1 (wireless), and lo. After, I have eth0, peth1, and lo.

 

The only change I made to xend-config.sxp was:

(network-script ‘network-bridge netdev=eth1’)

If I don’t make this change it uses both wired and wireless and creates peth0 and peth1, but eth1 still  vanishes.

If I  change it to eht0 it does nothing to the wireless and only creates the peth0 as expected.

 

When I start I get a message:

Bridge eth1 does not exist!

 

The logs show:

[2011-04-03 08:47:14 25932] INFO (XendNetwork:114) Not recreating missing unmanaged network wlan0

[2011-04-03 08:47:14 25932] INFO (XendNetwork:114) Not recreating missing unmanaged network xenbr0

 

Is there a solution? I have found others who reported similar issues on different Linux flavors who were directed to other virtual daemons.

I like xen, I don’t plan to go elsewhere.
