Is this a tulip or networking problem? I was poking around with
dhclient the other day (trying to get a dhcp client that would work
on both 2.0 and 2.3) and brought the interface up and now a few
times. As I recall, the NETWORK would break if I brought the
interface down -- I think that it was gluing routes to the
interface and ignoring both route and ifconfig's attempts to say
"no, really, when we bring the fucking interface down we mean it" --
but if I rmmod'ed the tulip driver and put it back in it would flush
the routes and work again.
