Hi,

Following up with URLs to all related patches.

The initramfs-tools files to support an initramfs
network configuration which is independent from that
in the running system can be found in the debian
bug tracking system, Bug #715048.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=715048

The files in the Bug #715048 patch can be configured to
bring down the network interface after the rootfs is mounted.


The email to the kilbc mailing list explaining the patches is:

The patches to klibc can be found at:

and in the "ipconfig_down" branch at:

The patch to the Debian cryptsetup docs is found in
Bug #715487.
