           Summary: make module (un)loading in netconf & net-tools optional
           Product: Codex
           Version: test grimoire
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: net
        AssignedTo: sm-grimoire-bugs AT lists.ibiblio.org
        ReportedBy: iuso AT sourcemage.org


The unloading of the network module by ifdown makes using ifplugd impossible. 
This is because when the driver is gone, ifplugd has no way of monitoring 
whether a cable or wifi connection is live or not. 
 
Therefore I am suggesting that the (un)loading feature be made optional. 
Maybe 
it could be individually defined for both ifup and ifdown with netconf. 
 
My solution for the ethernet driver is to have it statically built, but 
that's 
not an option for ipw2200 because it needs firmware. So no ifplugg'd wifi 
connections for me at the moment.
