What exactly are you testing?
Have you tried an ifconfig ethX down/up ?
As far as I know, any network disconnection is liable to render the NIC
out of the system until reboot on any system. Just because I've been
doing similar things (repatching,etc) for years and getting away with
it, doesn't mean it works on every system like that. Your "problem"
sounds like a normal reaction to network dropout.
