[Debian-eeepc-devel] [eeepc-acpi-scripts PATCH] Bring up/down ra0 too, and use ifup when bringing it back up

[Darren Salt]

I find that ra0 needs to be brought up when the wireless toggle is used.
Since I have it configured via /etc/network/interfaces, I also need to use
ifup; given this, it makes sense to always bring the interface down too.
