[vbox-dev] Set link status for host-only adapter

[Ribhi Kamal]

I'm just going through the code slowly to (hopefully) implement an interface
to set the link status. Do you mind explaining a little bit what following
method does:

from: src\VBox\HostDrivers\VBoxNetAdp.c
static DECLCALLBACK(bool) vboxNetAdpPortSetActive(PINTNETRUNKIFPORT pIfPort,
bool fActive)

which calls vboxNetAdpSetState (line 91), but what does "state" mean here?

Thanks!
