toggle setlinkstate with python

[Transmitt0r]

Hello,

I'm trying to disconnect and reconnect the network adapter to my VM. (Sadly this is necessary to get the network stack running). I found this solution for the CLI and the command VBoxManage controlvm "MyVM" setlinkstate1 off works fine for me, but now I want to do the same with python and got stuck.

I tried to toggle the adapter like this:

network_adapter = session.machine.get_network_adapter(0)
network_adapter.enabled = False
network_adapter.enabled = True

but get an error message that the machine is running and immutable. Any advice?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: If anyone else is stumbling over this, it should be network_adapter.cable_connected instead!
