[Bug 354627] Re: ifdown does not down the interface

[Simone F.]

So Scott, please pardon me if I insist in keeping up the questions is there any compatibility bug in net-tools? Because I also could manually call /sbin/ifconfig together with ifup ifdown but:
tst at lapbox:~/SVN$ sudo ifconfig eth0 down
[sudo] password for tst:
tst at lapbox:~/SVN$ sudo ifup eth0
ifup: interface eth0 already configured
tst at lapbox:~/SVN$ route
Tabella di routing IP del kernel
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
tst at lapbox:~/SVN$ sudo ifconfig eth0 up
tst at lapbox:~/SVN$ sudo ifdown eth0
Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0.

As for console commands it would seem incompatible system.-wide. If it
is not going to be fixed for Lucide release, could you point me to some
documentation for fixining it myself? Maybe connman website and
community?
