[Xen-devel] How to disconnect a network card in the Virtual machine?

[ANNIE LI <annie.li@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I develop windows pv driver make a WHQL test on it. Now i hit a problem 
when i pass WHQL NDISTest 6.5(manual). During this test, the user will 
be required to disconnect the network card, it is OK to unplug the 
network cable in physical environment. But in the virtual situation, it 
is difficult to simulate this situation.
I have an initial idea about how to realize this feature as following. 
Please point out if problems exist in my idea.
In the backend, adding a new value in xenstore, and  front end can watch 
this value to detect network connection status. When users want to 
disconnect the network card, they can change the value in the xenstore. 
Then front end get this notification by watcher of this value, and do 
more process to realize function of disconnection.
Waiting more suggestions to realize this feature.......

Thanks
Annie.
