Bug Description
=========== WARNING ===============
Doing:
sudo restart networking
or
sudo /etc/init.
============ WILL TEAR DOWN MOST OF YOUR DESKTOP =============
Networking is a generic job which brings up all networking interfaces in the right order at boot.
It should never be stopped nor restarted.
It is only stop at shutdown to correctly bring down all the networking interfaces in the right order again.
=========== DO NOT RESTART NETWORKING ===============
If you want to reconfigure all networking interface you can use something like:
ifdown eth0
ifup eth0
Or all interfaces with:
ifdown -a --exclude=lo && ifup -a --exclude=lo
