I think this is a clear and traceable solution.

I cannot speak for all but in my case is the following szenario. I have 
a device with a battery power supply. The network interface with the 
lwIP is "only" the communication interface if the device is connected to 
its charging station or a other local network. In the other cases is my 
main goal to safe power to offer the original function as long as 
possible. Also it is necessary for me to reduce the power consumption. 
The close of the network interface and the close of the lwIP frees any 
also my limited resources.
