Re: [arch-projects] [netctl] [RFC] Flush the interface configuration in ip_unset instead of bring_interface_down.

When switching networks in auto.action, the addresses are not flushed. This is especially problematic with stateless ipv6 autoconfigutation, as invalid IPs may stay around until their (potentially very long) lifetime has expired.

bring_interface_down is always called after ip_unset everywhere else, so this change does not affect anything else.

This may not be a good idea, since it probably flushes the link-local address. I must test more.
