Yes, I understand that, but until the IFF_UP flag is set on the interface, it
doesn't really have any effect on the system as a whole. You should be able to
undo any default setting that you want before you call ifup on the interface, or
am I missing something?

useless for boottime configuration of specific interface properties and
