I do think we're getting a little overcomplicated here. Let's try to simplify expectations. Here's what I expect (and I *think* this is reasonable - you tell me :-) ) When I run the equivalent of /etc/init.d/network stop: All devices configured to start ONBOOT are shut down, any addresses assigned to them are removed (this of course means that if there is a running dhcp service in the background, it won't add any addresses to the device until I restart the network service). When I run the equivalent of /etc/init.d/network start: Any devices configured to start ONBOOT are brought up according to the settings in their associated config file. This behavior implies that I should be able to modify network devices on the fly. If the service is restarted, the devices will only be activated with configuration explicitly stated in the config files.
