It's a bit terrifying -- can we not just wait for Ben's fix?
What purpose does the network name serve within the vswitch side of the
vswitch+controller pairing? Isn't the UUID sufficient -- the controller
has a XenAPI connection it can use to lookup any additional info it
needs. The network name can only be cosmetic anyhow, right?
