Hi Werner Yes this sound like what I wanted. Can I achieve the same thing by using "ifdown" and then run rmmod alias eth1 3c59x.
Will rmmod actually uninstall the network card completely or just unload it statistics?

I have tried "ifdown, ifup" although this stops the interface it does not reset the statistics for the interface. Obviously I could reset the machine every month but this is a bit extreme. > > > > Any help much appreciated > > > > Many thanks > > > > Mike > > You need to unload the network module. > > Shutdown the interface.
