Well, i can't explain it but after i installed bridge-utils 1.5-2ubuntu1
and rebooted it worked fine for a while. The next day I turned the
computer back on and i could not get it to work again. SO, there is
still something else going on with it. I was so hoping it was fixed as
well without it I can't even more forward with installing and setting up
Xen.

So far this has been a major hurdle and really annoying to say the
least.

YA, i know it is not advised to install anything manual, BUT this is a
testing server setup SO i really don't care about any security or
anything. I just want bridge-utils to work SO i don't have to continue
to waste hours trying to find a way to make it work.... :). If i happen
to find a solution THAN, YA of course i would go back to do things the
proper way, but for now, it is just simply frustrating that you can't
continue cause of some bug.

In Debian there is NO such issue at all, and it and UBUNTU are so very
similar that well never figured one gets stopped in your tracks so
easily with Ubuntu....

Just out of shear trying something, i also installed bridge-utils
1.5-2ubuntu6, BUT still can't get it to work.
