Bug Description
vde_pcapplug is needed to allow hosts on a virtual network to interact with the physical network the host computer is on via a specified interface, such as eth0 (which needs no special configuration, unlike bridge devices); as far as I can tell it isn't supported by virtualbricks yet (grepped through source etc.)

The solution to this would be to create a new brick to enable this functionality.
For Daniel: we normally use TAP devices to connect to local host, but indeed it is a good idea to have the pccapplug working from virtualbricks to attach switches to existing (physical) interfaces.
Is anyone taking charge of this task?
