Comment 16 for bug 192294

I'm sorry to say but this is actually 1/2 user error and 1/2 xen logistics. Xen while creating the briding for DomU's, renames eth0 to peth0. You can verify this by running "chmod -x /etc/init.d/xend ; reboot" and verifying that iproute works as you expect it to.

Please see http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenNetworking for a more concise description.
