It does not care anymore. The instructions on the website are working. It's me that I totally forgot to add the IP on the VIF statement of the debian.cfg file. As soon as I added it and I changed $main_ip with $ip on the vip-route-local,the network started working like a charm.
To work the vif-route script should be modified like this : netdev=mlan0 main_ip=$(dom0_ip) case "${command}" in add|online) ifconfig ${dev} ${main_ip} netmask 255.255.255.255 up echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/${dev}/proxy_arp echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/${dev}/forwarding echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/mlan0/forwarding echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/mlan0/proxy_arp /usr/sbin/arp -i mlan0 -Ds Thanks anyway.
