is there something equivalent to solaris' unplumb, so that
i can tell eth1 to drop dead? ie, w/o a reboot?
# /sbin/ifconfig eth1 down

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.

Open box, remove card.... Or am I missing something? Why can't it show up as an unconfigured interface if that's what it is?

The only other way I can think of is to remove the kernel module driving the card. But why do you need to do that?

What is the goal of this exercise? Seems like you're trying to do something "the solaris way" when this ain't solaris. Do it (whatever it is) the linux way.

What are you trying to achieve?
