| Doc Text: |
When using a VIRT-IO (Virtual Input/Output) NIC (Network Interface Controller), its state was reported as unknown instead of its real state (up or down). This was due to the fact that the device could not report the state status. With this update, when a device is not capable of reporting the current state, it is assumed the state is up or the state is read from the config file.
