Hello,
The usual way to restart an interface is:
ifdown $interface && ifup $interface
It will be nice and handy to provide an script (ifrestart) to do this.
I have implemented my own version of such script that does that, it also
allows to restart all interfaces with "ifrestart -a".
Feel free to modify it as you want.
Thanks!

There's 'reload' action of the networking init script, which restarts
all the interfaces currently up, and 'restart' which just puts
everything down, and then ups only those which have 'auto' (or
'allow-hotplug' while the interface's operating).
Probably, there may be a parameter to the initscript to limit its
action to just some interfaces, but I don't think it's worth to add
ifrestart, at least now.
