That is my understanding as well. However where you talked about
adding the code will end up being before we call e1000e_down() won't
it?

My concern is mainly that we don't want to mess up the ordering of
things or perform the same action multiple times, or do things
out-of-order.

I get that, however the way you said you were going to change things
doesn't match up with that. You are freeing the IRQs without first
bringing down the interface.

I need to take a look at a couple things. I am not sure why the
e1000e_close is even checking for the __E1000_DOWN bit. From what I
can tell the other drivers are just calling e1000_down() directly
without the check so I am not sure if something was added that makes
it so that we have to be careful about calling e1000_down more than
once or not. If not we could probably just pull that check and
simplify all of this.

Thanks.
