Nahum,
for me the main problem with having it as a vmic is the random MAC address it
gets assign every boot :)
I've changed the behaviour for my own platform builds to be able to have fixed
MAC address configured (external0_mac=01:23:45:67:ab:cd) and I'm also thinking
about allowing external_{ip,netmask,gateway} (without a number) to directly sit
on the physical NIC.
