Well, the providers should be creating <source network='something'>, so I need to check and make sure we're doing that.
I checked whether the provider adds the <source network='something'> and it does for KVM. I tried creating the KVM guest with two interface types: 1) Network Type : It needs the following fields in the xml file: <interface type='network'> <mac address='11:22:33:aa:bb:cc'/> <source network='default-net'/> </interface> We are handling this in the provider code. 2) Bridge Type : It needs the following fields in the xml file: <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='11:22:33:aa:bb:cc'/> <source bridge='testbridge'/> </interface> The provider code in the xmlgen.c file does not support the KVM guest to be created with the "bridge" type. 1) Also, I noticed that for creating the Xen guest we do not require the <source > field in the <interface > section for both Network and Bridge interface Types. But for the KVM guest its compulsory to have the <source > field in the <interface > section for both Network and Bridge interface Types. 2) Any specific reason for not supporting the KVM guest to be created for the bridge type interface, and supporting Xen guest with only bridge type ? 3) Also, I did not understand the need for the script field in the interface section. We can create the Xen, KVM guests without this.

Meaning an existing guest created outside the providers with a network type we don't support? I dunno, I'll have to think on that one.
