[Bug 919249] [NEW] "service networking stop" not working

[Joseph Paul Cohen]

Public bug reported:

I believe these commands should have a different result.  "service
networking stop" should stop networking. This issue happens on a 11.04
machine as well.

---------------------------------------------
Script from 11.10 desktop install
--------------------------------------------
$ sudo service networking stop
stop: Unknown instance: 
$ sudo service networking start
networking stop/waiting
$ service networking
Usage: /etc/init.d/networking {start|stop}
--------------------------------------------
Also this method does not provide a restart like "/etc/init.d/networking restart" and I think it should to be a full replacement of the sysvinit script.
