I am trying to manually disable the eth0 interface, which should persist until the system is either rebooted or by manually enabling it. Unfortunately by either using
ip link set dev eth0 down
or
ifconfig eth0 down
the interface is down for a moment, around 2 to 15 seconds and than automatically starts enabling itself, giving the following message:
fec 2188000.ethernet eth0: Freescale FEC PHY driver [Atheros 8031 ethernet] (mii_bus:phy_addr=2188000.ethernet:00, irq=-1)
[ 727.204693] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready
When plugging the ethernet cable out of the machine, the eth0 down does persist.
After trying to do it with the commandline method, I also tried to dig into the ethernet driver based on this link: http://www.6by9.net/using-linux-sys-to-disable-ethernet-hardware-devices/
But unfortunately there appears to be no "remove" file.
