[Fedora-xen] Networking

[Mark Curry]

Hi,

I have successfully installed xen on fc5 but have a problem with the network. 

When I boot into the xen0 kernel I cannot access the internet. Fedora's networking tool shows that eth0 is inative, if I click on activate I receive a short error message stating 'unsuccessful'.

The output of ifconfig is: 

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:26:54:14:FA:B0

I assume it's either something to do with a driver for my nics not being present in the xen kernel or something to do with the bridging.

Help appreciated.
