So when exactly did you have to say ifdown in your pre-NM days?
When I took my Acer to work, and when I brought it home. It was then
running opensuse 10.0.
So you have your laptop at work, connected by ethernet?
That's not what I said
Then you turn it off, and bring it home?
I don't turn it off, I keep it on and preserve my desktop and virtual
consoles.
Then you connect it by WiFi?
More likely wireless in both places, different Aps and different keys.
Sometimes I add wire for temporaty speed.
I do this all the time,
and don't find any need to say ifdown.
When you shut down, ifdown is implicit.
The interface only comes up if the device is connected.
