In fact, tr3buchet is reworking the nova/quantum integration code and as a result some values from Quantum (e.g., allocated MAC + IP address) will most definitely be passed to the vif-driver. However, I do want to make sure that the vif-plugging driver stays "thin" and focused primarily on connecting the vNIC to the switch.
