Forgive me for not responding earlier - I have been ill. If you mean that you unload the NIC driver I have not thoroughly tested such operation with openais. Instead it is designed to check that an interface has been ifconfig ethX down within the downcheck interval. if that happens, openais forms singleton rings on all nodes and binds to the 127.0.0.1 ip. I believe token should be greater then downcheck, or it is possible you would have a token loss before you had a downcheck notification which would result in some unknown undesireable behavior.
In regards to the version your using, if you plan to deploy I would definitely recommend updating to 0.80.3 or better yet the latest branch of whitetank. Whitetank is highly stable and includes thousands of hours of quality engineering work to improve stability over version 0.79. 0.79 unfortunately has many protocol bugs and other bugs which may result in poor behavior. I hope that answers your questions.
