Does Debian ever actually deconfigure network interfaces upon halt or reboot? My Debian testing gives the following:
$ ls /etc/rc?.d/*networking /etc/rc0.d/S35networking /etc/rc6.d/S35networking /etc/rcS.d/S40networking Looking at the list output above, there are no symlinks to 'kill' the network interfaces (/etc/rc0.d/KXXnetworking etc.). That is, "ifdown -a" never gets executed for my system to bring down the interfaces. I was testing 2.4.13-ac8 kernel and was getting plenty of "eth0: too much work at interrupt, intrstatus = 0x0001" -messages when shutting down. My first reaction was to think that the kernel itself was broken, and that may well be the case. However, running "ifdown -a" before shutdown solved this, and there were no more messages like that.
