Hi,
I have a setup in which VMs are connected with macvtap to the network. The
macvtap interfaces are attached to a physical NIC.
There is a question if it is possible to hot-unplug - hot-plug the physical
NIC and retain the VMs connectivity to the network (of course with some
hiccup for the unplug-plug time).
As far as I could tell from the macvtap/macvlan code, once lowerdev is gone
there is nothing that can be done to reattach macvlan/macvtap to another
lowerdev.
My question is there something fundamental that prevents it?

Sincerely yours,
Mike.
