Hi!
I'm using xenguest-install.py to install a guest domain on x86_64.
The anaconda installer start up fine, but when I configure the network
for the guest domain (be it DHCP or static IP), after trying to contact
installation FTP server, I discover that the guest domain has no network
connectivity at all - it cannot resolve the FTP server's hostname, or
connect to it directly by its IP address; I cannot ping from other hosts
or from dom0 to the guest domain.
The physical network controller is a Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme
BCM5704 Gigabit Ethernet using the tg3 driver.
The virtual network devices are created by Xen on domain 0:

I suspect that this may have something to do with x86_64 architecture
and the tg3 driver. Any ideas?
