I have a question on the networks used for VM communication:
I'm using Xen PVMs, and then I see the virtual NICs a VM has in xentop (for example).
However in Qubes OS the number of NICs is zero. So where are those NICS and virtual LANs configured? I also could not find a bridge device.
Maybe the FAQ could be updated regarding that...

Regards,
Ulrich

Ulrich Windl:
They are configured in scripts ran on startup. Check ip link in sys-net
for example, and you'll see a vif. Sys-firewall will have a couple. I
don't know why they don't appear in xl top in dom0. Qubes doesn't have a
bridge device by default.
