Have you made the former work? :) I'm still not sure exactly what
you mean too.

The latter is what I've started to do on mermaid. Check out
/etc/xen/xend-config.sxp and the network-script parameter;
/etc/xen/scripts/local-network-bridge and /etc/xen/local-vlan-bridge.
then check /etc/xen/mussel's vif parameter.

For it to work you'll have to xm shutdown mussel and xm create mussel.
Reboot won't pick up the new network interface. Alternatively, you could
probably attach the netif via an xm command but I haven't sat down
to figure that out.
