For kdump we need scp vmcore to remote machine, the nic to be used is not limited to netroot one. we need a feature for manually bringing up network interface. Also it is useful for emergency shell with ssh-client for recovery or test purpose I implement this by adding one argument to ifup script, user can use `/sbin/ifup eth0 -m` to bring up eth0, note ifup will regard it a manual operation for the nic specified in 1st argument if there's the 2nd argument. If same nic is used for netroot the 2nd argument will be ignored, in this case we will leave netroot bring up it automatically to avoid side effect. And in this case hooks such as kdump will need to execute after netroot mounted. `ifup eth0 -m` will create /tmp/net.eth0.manualup stamp file, later dhclient-script can check this and pass $2 to netroot, then netroot script will bring eth0 up Thanks for comments and suggestions from David Dillow.
