   No, it does not change anything in the interface setup, apart from
   toggling its activity state. Normally the following sequence of
   commands leaves interface in its state before the first one:

       ifconfig eth0 down
       ifconfig eth0 up

   I'll try to implement it.

I was going to have a shot, but since you have a better idea of what
happens shoot.
