put a line like this in your /etc/apt/sources.list

deb-src http://your_favourite_mirror/debian potato main contrib non-free


and them cd to your preferred scratch directory (/tmp|/usr/src/) and do:

# apt-get update
# apt-get source netbase

ifup/ifdown are in netbase package

Well, first you need a deb-src line in your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free

Next, just use apt-get to fetch netbase' source:
apt-get source netbase

You'll end up with three files in the current directory (a .diff.gz, a .dsc
and a .orig.tar.gz) plus a directory (in this case called netbase-3.18)...

Then, cd to netbase-3.18/ifupdown and there you have it! ifup and ifdown are
the same program. When called as ifup, it gets an interface up. When called
as ifdown, it brings down the interface..
