I am new to xen and I am trying to get a domU running but I am having problems with it. I think my network card might not support bridging which is bizarre.

This is the error I get when trying to create the domU

[root@hyrba ~]# xm create sardis.secusrvr.com.cfg
Using config file "/etc/xen/sardis.secusrvr.com.cfg".
Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working.

All the xen kernel modules are loaded...

I get this error in /var/log/xen/xen-hotplug.log
