Yes, with real iron nics (and hard drives), the term "hotplug" is widely understood as "shove a new device into a running machine". So I see no reason to change anything. But I do not see how this is related to libvirt (which does not have an API call named *plug*). > however let's do wired/un-wired = link-up / link-down it's understood by > everyone and Michael pointed out I'm fine with that. > > What about allowing a nic with the no-network?
