emellor@leeni.uk.xensource.com dad18c78cb Change uses of \s within sed regexps -- some versions of sed do not support this
escape.

Allow the vif-nat and vif-route scripts to have netdev specified, rather than
hard-coding eth0.

Command Incompatibilities
=========================
Known incompatibilities with various commands on various distributions, and
the workarounds we use.
brctl
-----
brctl show <bridge> fails on SLES9 SP2. Workaround is to use brctl show
without arguments, and grep, though this would be difficult were you to need
to check for a specific bridge-interface pair, since brctl does not show the
bridge name on every line.
ifup / ifdown
-------------
SuSE requires an extra parameter to ifup, which is created by calling getcfg
appropriately. See xen-network-common.sh for details.
Gentoo doesn't have ifup/ifdown; appropriate alternatives are defined in
xen-network-common.sh.
sed
---
\s is not supported in regexps on Debian etch (sed 4.1.2), Ubuntu 4.10. We
hand-craft character classes instead.
