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

[Mikhail Sennikovsky]

  Bases on the backslash path style you mention I assume you're 
interested in Windows version of NetAdp, so..
1. The NetAdp on windows is built from the 
src/VBox/HostDrivers/VBoxNetFlt source tree with VBOXNETADP defined, 
i.e. src\VBox\HostDrivers\VBoxNetAdp is not used.
2. The current code contains a VBOXNETADP_REPORT_DISCONNECTED 
conditionally compiled code (which is now disabled), to report link 
status as disconnected for the case the Host-Only adapter is not active 
(i.e. does not have intnet connected to it), so you can do whatever you 
need based on that code.

Hope this helps,
Mikhail
