Subject: iproute: removing modules, ifup down up down kill ip _eventually_ succeeds

Package: iproute
Version: 20041019-3
Severity: normal
Followup-For: Bug #282492

one million and increasing attempts to flush eth0.

this is what i am using (in combination with fwbuilder) to attempt
to get round of the problem. it is not successful always but can be
eventually successful after killing /sbin/ip and re-running the script,
repeat until success.

#!/bin/sh

iptables -F
iptables -X

ifdown eth1
