Thanks, this shows that there are no Guest<->Control Domain
communication issue. So, the FW bug that I was referring to isn't
an issue here and updating the FW may not help resolve this issue.

Only issue that I can think of is the programming of vnet1's mac-address
into e1000g1's h/w. We haven't seen issues in this area, so I am not
sure if this is the problem either.
