With Nettools’ ifconfig (and other implementations) they bring the specified interface up or down, which is quite useful. ;-) When I asked what those commands did, I meant from a technical point of view; brings the interface up/down is not very descriptive for implementing it. In either case, Sergey will fix the bug, yay!
