Hi,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this flag seems have 2 distinct use case, you can 
check it to verify if the interface should be brought up during boot _and_ if 
it is "enabled" in the system.

This also means that you cannot have an interface set to "no" and bring it up 
manually later. You'll first have to set the flag to "yes", call "network 
restart" and then set it back to "no".

Am I missing something here ?

Regards,
