I have a server with a single ethernet interface, eno1.

When booting to kernel-default, the interface is configured in 
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eno1  and gets brought up by the wicked networking 
stack

If I switch to Xen, booting to kernel-xen, I can bring up the Dom0 in this 
configuration too.

But for PV DomUs, I need a bridge interface to pass in vif=[...]

I know how to create & configure the bridge interface 
(/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-br0) to 'take over' eno1

I can't figure out how to create & use the bridge only conditionally -- in the 
Xen-boot case.

In other words,

        if boot to non-Xen, use intfc "eno1"

and, 

        if boot to Xen, use intfc "br0" instead

On my previous servers I'd use if-up & if-down scripts to handle it.

The up/down scripts don't seem to work with the opensuse wicked stack.

How do you handle conditional network configuration with wicked, depending on 
which boot environment -- Xen or non-Xen -- you're booting to?

IIUC the advice has been to use opensuse networking config to setup the 
interfaces.

To do this ^^ do you have to step outside the OS config?
