[libvirt] [PATCH] Update MAC address in virInterface objects when needed.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



MAC address of a particular interface may change over time, and the
reduced virInterface object (which contains just name and mac) needs
to reflect these changes.
