The thing is that you can't tell if the patch does break anything from
testing with Debian live only.

Debian live uses simple networking configuration in which the patch works.

However, in more complex cases downing the interface might be a
replacement for proper cleanup which the script never had to do due to
the fact downing an interface removes pretty much everything related
to it.

Thanks
