Then, after the VM starts, I have to bring the host network interface up by hand. If the host interface is up before the VM starts, the VM fails to start. If I do not bring the host network interface up after the VM starts, the VM cannot effectively communicate using that network interface. Does anybody has a "clean" solution for it, I mean: without employing some external "dirty" script or so?
