I can't set link state for network=ethernet, in older versions all works fine. As i see in qemu_hotplug.c: case VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_ETHERNET: if (STRNEQ_NULLABLE(olddev->data.ethernet.dev, newdev->data.ethernet.dev) || olddev->nips == 0 || newdev->nips == 0 || !virSocketAddrEqual(&olddev->ips[0]->address, &newdev->ips[0]->address)) { needReconnect = true; } break; If needReconnect = true, than i get error in libvirt like "Operation not supported: unable to change config on 'ethernet' network type" In my case, i don't change device name and i don't have ip addresses in xml definition. Whats wrong ? Thanks for help. -- Vasiliy Tolstov, e-mail: v.tolstov(a)selfip.ru
