makes a usable host!  However, I have yet to have mkvm create a "vguest"
with a NIC on an esx5 system.  I have installed several versions and even
pulled xcat from SVN ( as suggested in previous posts on the mailing list)
to no avail. ( I have gone as far as to delete all installed packages and
configs to make sure nothing is interfering.
