<font size="2" face="Courier 10 Pitch">Hi guys.<br>
<br>
how would you keep an Ethernet link/port powered down?<br>
</font><font size="2" face="Courier 10 Pitch">I was thinking I'll
try first _udev_ rules - given other tools/managers are told to
stay away from the link/port just as an extra precaution,
complementing this:<br>
<br>
[keyfile]<br>
unmanaged-devices=interface-name:gateway<br>
<br>
in NM's conf, but that part of the config - in order for NM to be
able to bring iface up/down again - needs to be absent/not-used
& NM has to reloaded.<br>
Anybody would have a better, more practical solution?<br>
<br>
Just to stress - this is about having physical port "powered-down"
and not just NM profile/iface not being up.<br>
<br>
many thanks, L.</font>
