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.

Excellent. And what might then be the command corresponding to ifup eth1?

Note that under Linux, the system tries to assign eth when the device
driver is loaded. So the best idea for you would be to also remove the
device driver
eg
modprobe -r eth1






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.
