I see, thanks.

I think that I can get around in Slackware with brctl; what I miss is a
(distribution-independent ?) information on WHAT to do, not on HOW to
do it.

Quoting (almost) 
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/HostConfiguration/Networking,
I need to know what is the appropriate network configuration that
administrators are required to set up using the tools provided by their
host distribution.

For me, so far most useful was the brief info that describes what
network-bridge does:
# start:
# Creates the bridge as tdev
# Copies the IP and MAC addresses from pdev to bridge
# Renames netdev to be pdev
# Renames tdev to bridge
# Enslaves pdev to bridge

and the diagrams in http://libvirt.org/archnetwork.html#architecture
that "illustrate some of the network configurations enabled by the 
libvirt networking APIs".
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenNetworking , on the other hand,
seems obsolete: I can't see any vethX/vif0.X interfaces in my Dom0.

Thank you for your help,

Jan
