I'm not so sure about this one.
a. Xen does have support for net-list which is currently done via the
(badly named) libvirt_qemud daemon. Though the network stuff would
certainly require porting to Solaris for the bridge.c and the
iptables.c files at the very least.
b. If the network driver isn't available - as with many other of the
APIs - its standard practice for us to return a not implemented
error. I think its important to keep this distinction between
implemented, but no networks defined, vs not implemented at all.
What end-application scenario were trying to address with these change ?
I know virt-manager will complain once a second about the network functions
if they return not implemented. This is on my list of things to fix in
virt-manager though - once its tried once & found networking is unavailable
it should stop trying & thus stop spewing warning messages after the first
one.
Regards,
Dan.
