I noticed that not all traditional options are supported in xml format (for
example, usbdevice = "tablet").
Until I can use "traditional" xm config file, I will use these!

I need the simplest network config in the world:
        FIXED IP ADDRESS IN THE SAME NETWORK OF HOST
but this setup doesn't work:

# xend-config.sxp
(network-script network-bridge)
(vif-script vif-bridge)

# vm1 setup file
vif = [ "ip=193.227.64.105" ]
dhcp = "off"

If I start guest with:
xm create vm1
I'm unable to reach it by network.

Googling around, I see only sophisticated configs, with dhcp, nat,
routers... I don't understand...
