I update vi->speed and vi->duplex in virtnet_config_changed_work(). And
I tested using the 'set_link' on/off from the qemu monitor.
Specifically, an 'off' sets the speed and link to 'unknown', and
an 'on'
returns the speed and link to the configured speed and duplex. So they
are being updated dynamically now. What host changes are you referring
to that are not reflected?

Thanks,

Ouch, I was reviewing an old version and replied to this one.
Sorry, will re-read now.
