Network is a standard linux bridge setup via Dom0 networking tools, 
one bridge, one NIC, one network. Both kernels are stock Debian 
Squeeze, same package :
linux-image-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64, 2.6.32-41

I've now dug out a spare machine, transferred the guest system to it, 
and made only the minimum changes (fstab etc) to make it boot as a 
physical standalone machine. It starts atalkd, and nbmlkup returns 
the results I'd expect on my network.
So I think I can be sure it's not a software/config problem - the 
same image/setup works on a real machine but not as a PV guest under 
Xen.
Test machine is an AMD64 box, nVidia chipset, and forcedeth driver 
for the network. In the guest, "dmesg | grep eth0" doesn't show 
anything - is that to be expected ?
