[pve-devel] [PATCH qemu-server 1/1] fix #5619: honor link_down setting when hot-plugging nic

[Stefan Hanreich]

When detaching and attaching the network device on update, the
link_down setting is not considered and the network device always gets
attached to the guest - even if link_down is set.

Fixes: 3f14f206 ("nic online bridge/vlan change: link disconnect/reconnect")
