Note: "permalinks" may not be as permanent as we would like,
direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.

What still is an issue though, is the fact that if I take out a networkcable 
longer than 5 seconds, it will not go up again after reconnecting the cable.

I  don't have this problem with a switch, so I guess that both interfaces are 
disabled and do not send electrical signals over the wire which could 
encourage the other interface to wake up again.
