From e2abe690babf06fc49bdec49b08cb45dd3e09138 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roger Pau Monne Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2013 17:42:17 +0000 Subject: xl/libxl: add gatewaydev/netdev to vif specification MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This option is used by the vif-route hotplug script. A new more descriptive name is used, "gatewaydev", but "netdev" is also supported as a deprecated backwards compatible option. This option was supported in the past, according to http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Vif-route, so we should also support it in libxl.
