<font size="2" face="Courier 10 Pitch">Hi guys.<br>
<br>
Perhaps not strictly _systemd_ question but community here surely
is capable - a matter of me being lucky - how would you keep an
Ethernet link/port powered down?<br>
I was thinking I'll try first _udev_ rules - given other
tools/managers are told to stay away from the link/port<br>
Is there a better, best way to put such link/port down & keep
it that way - naturally, please steer clear of "unplug the cable"
type of ideas.<br>
<br>
many thanks, L.<br>
