Comment 13 for bug 354627

So Scott, please pardon me if I insist in keeping up the questions is there any compatibility bug in net-tools? Because I also could manually call /sbin/ifconfig together with ifup ifdown but:
tst@lapbox:~/SVN$ sudo ifconfig eth0 down
[sudo] password for tst:
tst@lapbox:~/SVN$ sudo ifup eth0
ifup: interface eth0 already configured
tst@lapbox:~/SVN$ route
Tabella di routing IP del kernel
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
tst@lapbox:~/SVN$ sudo ifconfig eth0 up
tst@lapbox:~/SVN$ sudo ifdown eth0
Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0.
tst@lapbox:~/SVN$ route
Tabella di routing IP del kernel
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 eth0
link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 eth0
default pp.lan 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

As for console commands it would seem incompatible system.-wide. If it is not going to be fixed for Lucide release, could you point me to some documentation for fixining it myself? Maybe connman website and community?
