I'm install latest libvir and configure network to assign some ip to
ethernet device.
But after start tap device is down and no addresses assigned.


My investigation:
qemu_interface.c have functions:
qemuInterfaceStartDevice and qemuInterfaceStopDevice
In start device in case of ethernet device no action performed (this
is bug i think).
In stop device i see, that we try to assign ip address to device (why?)

I think we need to move assigning addresses from stop device, to start
device, also note, that for routes we need device to up (how we deal
in case of user in xml specify device is down and have route element
inside xml for this device?)
In case of stop device i think we does not need anything (in case of
linux) becaue when tap deleted routes and addresses dissapeared from
the kernel.


What do you think?
