I noticed this in ifconfig(8):
up Mark an interface "up". This may be used to enable an
interface after an ifconfig down. It happens
automatically when setting the first address on an
interface. If the interface was reset when previously
marked down, the hardware will be re-initialized.
Perhaps there should be a special note in the veb(4) manual page?
