RE: [libvirt] invoking interface.script - missing interface name of domain
Hi Daniel,
within the latest CVS checkout, the problem below is not
fixed. It there an open bug (to track) in redhat bugzilla for it ?
If not, should I create one ?
regards
Danny

That is a bug I'm afraid - it *should* pass the real
auto-generated
interface name but for some reason it isn't. I see this is one of the
XML configs we don't have tested in our xml -> ARGV conversion test.
