The problem is that

ip a a 192.168.0.1/24 dev eth0
ip link set eth0 down
ip a flush dev eth0

Here on my vanilla 2.6.2 it locks eating CPU - it does netlink
communication over and over. This ,,hang'' doesn't happen when
interface is in UP state. Also doesn't happen on 2.4 kernels.

I fixed it with this patch for iproute2 here. It's not clear to me at
all how it ever worked before. The loop seems to be just wrong.

Does iproute2 have a homepage again? Where?
