Subject: ifdown on unregister for debian system
Date: Mon, 07 Jan 2002 17:07:09 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-linux-hotplug-101042335418693@msgid-missing> (raw)

Hi,  I'm linux-hotplug debian package maintainer.

On debian system, ifup/ifdown keep status of interface status (up/down)
in ifstate database, so ifdown is necessary when network interface
unregistered.  Unless ifdown is called, next registering net device
will fail because it was already up in ifstate database.
