Replying late as I've just walked into this issue, yet again - which 
prompts me to ask:

  - Is there any way of having the FreeBSD virtual machine use the Xen disk 
services, but the legacy 'realtek' network card?

I had asked about this a while ago - I think someone said it would be 'very 
tricky' - and much later someone replied that it might be possible...

That would hopefully give us some agility back to these machines - which at 
the moment are languishing on a separate pool - running pure HVM, which is 
a real pain for backend storage changes / upgrades :(

Maybe it's time for beer++? :)
