So, it looks like the ''active ingredient'' of ''ifdown
eth0'' is the
following line:
 ip link set dev eth0 down

Somehow, this seems to remove the ipv6 address, but leave the ipv4 one.

I guess an ''ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0'' is a reasonable way to
clear out the
ipv4 address.

I''ve checked something in.
