>Organization:
Trapeze Networks
>Environment:
x86, Ethernet
>Description:
      When attempting a net install, I chose an FTP source which
happened to be now.  Although the system offered to try again,
the interface had been brought down, and was not put back "up"
before this retry attempt.  Thus subsequent attempts failed until
I switched consoles to a shell and ifconfig'ed the interface back
up.
>How-To-Repeat:
      
>Fix:
      Check your logic for when you force the interface down.
Also remember that the default route will be lost when the
interface is deleted, so the gateway has to be reinstalled when
the interface is brought up again.
