+1
It make clearly no sense to unload a network *device* driver on
*interface* up/down semantic, as the fence between device and interface
semantic was made to have more control on what and how data is eventually
send over a network device.
When the last interface using the device is deleted, then close the driver
make sense.
But not when an interface is simply turned down.
