I've run into similar situations with RedHat systems. There the IP would
still show up with ifconfig -a and could be reached from localhost ... I
couldn't reach it remotely mind you.
I always make sure that I have iproute2 installed for situations like this,
it seems much more capable than ifconfig when you run into problems:
ip addr del 192.168.197.179 dev eth0:1
