Well, glad we got it worked out. Chock one up to the great ubuntu gods. If I were to guess, it's because the kernel module isn't loading. I think there's a command to load kernel drivers, it escapes me atm (ldmod? Something...), but I wonder if you could manually loaf the kernel driver w/o a reboot.
Out of curiosity, what do you use for vm management? A but off topic, so I hope you'll excuse the digression. I've exploited options like openQRM (no ip management in the open source version, essentially making it useless; you could -potentially- manage ips with puppet...), cloudstack, openstack, eucalyptus, and they all seem to be missing a piece. I'm about ready to write my own libvirt wrapper.
