Re: [Xen-users] Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working. (CentOS 5.2 x86_64, Xen 3.2.1)

[Daniel Kao <dkao@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Update:

I just noticed my peth0 has the same MAC address as eth0 which seems to 
be wrong.  The mac address for peth0 should be FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF and the 
inet6 address should be fe80::fcff:ffff:feff:ffff/64...
... but I'm not sure what's causing that or how to fix it or it might be 
the result of incorrect brctl settings. :/
Cheers,
Daniel
