I'm working again on simple-netaid, and i 'd like to share with you the
C code

for bringing up/down a concrete network interface (void
interface_up/down, respectivelly):



/********         Bring up the interface                      *******/

void interface_up (const char *if_name)

{
    struct ifreq ifr;
    int skfd = 0;

    strncpy(ifr.ifr_name, if_name, IFNAMSIZ);

    /* Create a channel to the NET kernel. */
    if((skfd = iw_sockets_open()) < 0)
    {
        perror("socket");
        return -1;
    }

    skfd = socket (AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
    if (skfd && ioctl(skfd, SIOCGIFFLAGS, &ifr) >= 0) {
        printf("Activating interface %s", if_name);
        strncpy(ifr.ifr_name, if_name, IFNAMSIZ);
        ifr.ifr_flags |= (IFF_UP | IFF_RUNNING);
        ioctl(skfd, SIOCSIFFLAGS, &ifr);
    } else {
        printf("Getting flags for interface %s failed, not activating
interface.", if_name);
    }

    /* Close the socket. */
    iw_sockets_close(skfd);

}


/********         Bring down the interface                      *******/

void interface_down (const char *if_name)
{
    struct ifreq ifr;
    int skfd = 0;

    strncpy(ifr.ifr_name, if_name, IFNAMSIZ);

    /* Create a channel to the NET kernel. */
    if((skfd = iw_sockets_open()) < 0)
    {
        perror("socket");
        return -1;
    }

    if (skfd && ioctl(skfd, SIOCGIFFLAGS, &ifr) >= 0) {
        printf("Taking down interface %s", if_name);
        strncpy(ifr.ifr_name, if_name, IFNAMSIZ);
        ifr.ifr_flags &= ~IFF_UP;
        ioctl(skfd, SIOCSIFFLAGS, &ifr);
    } else {
        printf("Getting flags for interface %s failed, not taking down
interface.", if_name);
    }

    /* Close the socket. */
    iw_sockets_close(skfd);
}

HTH,
