I don't know if everyone has seen, but there is a proposed patch for the
hardy-xen-network problem here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/218126

Apparently, it's due to a bug in netfront driver. People are reporting
success with the fix provided by Takahito Hirano.
I'll test it here soon.

Cheers, Leandro.
