network: add option to keep the link down

2020-12-15T09:07:50+00:00

Some interfaces like Open vSwitch bridges using the userspace datapath,
needs the link to be kept down to avoid issues.
Add a LINKSTATUS=[down|up] ifcfg parameter to add this functionality.
If not specified, the link will default to up as before.

Add optional 'dev' keyword

2020-07-24T11:46:14+00:00

Fix the problem when the device name could be interpreted as an iproute2 keyword.
For example, for a bridge slave named "a" the iproute2 would treat
the name as a prefix of keyword "address" and the network-scripts
would fail to set the bridge master.
