is there something equivalent to solaris' unplumb, so that

when you do ifconfig -a under with eth1 down, it still shows
eth1. i want ifconfig -a to not show anything about eth1
at all. i've done down, and down doesn't do that.
if you unplumb on solaris, ifconfig -a won't mention it
at all.


i assume if i rename the ifup (or whatever it is) script
and reboot it'll go away.

Gee, what's the opposite of up?

down.


on solaris, i get along just fine.

I sincerely doubt that, given your proposed solutions to your troubles. May
I suggest a study of the use of the "man" command?


i've read the man pages.
