[PATCH] ifup: ifdown for network interface with mapped configuration

[Matthias Loy]

Hello,

we are using ifup from busy box in our embedded devices. In order to 
reconfigure network interfaces we call ifdown, change the configuration 
files and call ifup again. We found that ifdown does not work on mapped 
configurations like eth1-dhcp or dhcp-manual. ifup is working fine.

Attached you find a small patch solving our problem. Is this ok for you?

regards,
Matthias Loy
