This may all be normal, working as designed ; i just can't find any
information on that "missing state" of a "device", what that means, and
how to correct that. This is a VM created with the wrong MAC address and
i wish to correct that ; i have also tried "virsh edit myvm", performed
the desired change, but the VM still does not connect to its host the
way it is supposed to. This is perhaps a problem on the host side,
however this "device state missing" err msg is annoying, keeping me from
moving ahead in my search for a solution to my problem. Thanks in
advance.
