Without this you be sending in
<interface type='network'>
<source network='foo'>
</interface>
And be getting back
<interface type='bridge'>
<source bridge='virbr0'>
</interface>
As far as is possible the XML used to create a VM should be identical
to that you get back from libvirt once it is running.
Absolutely, very good point.
There's a few places where we return the current running state rather
than the initial configuration we provided, but this would be a
particularly bad case.
It's a bit fugly, though - should libvirt do ListDomains(),
GetBridgName() and match the bridge name, or should we have
virNetworkLookupByBridge() and make qemud do the lookup itself?
Cheers,
Mark.
