I've needed this feature several years ago so I made a patch for igb(4) and em(4) drivers. The patch introduces new per-interface sysctls with default zero values: dev.em.X.down_disables_link dev.igb.X.down.disables_link With this patch, sysctl dev.em.0.down_disables_link=1 makes "ifconfig em0 down" bring link down. For LACP mode this feature is very useful as it makes LACP peer reconfigure itself quickly.
