Hello
I am trying to install xen. I am using this page as a guide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xen
I have a problem where I can not get the commands for setting up the networking bridge to work. During the xen installation, I noted that it uses netctl instead of netcfg. I made those changes and if I boot my regular kernel it appears to work with a wifi connection. Here is the result of some command regarding networking with regular kernel
There's your problem. You can't bridge wifi adapters. It needs to be ethernet in order for brctl to use it. If I remember correctly, this is due to wifi not being "routable," that is, you cannot proxy packets destined / sourced from a MAC that is not your own. --- --John "Sean" Greenslade
