I'm trying to get my shiny new ethernet driver to detach.

I can load the driver, and (from the command line) ifconfig
en1 inet 192.168.1.9 up.

I then ifconfig en1 down, and unload the the driver.
I am calling IONetworkController::detachInterface((IONetworkInterface
*) netif, true) at unload time.  The driver's kext unloads OK and does not 
stall there.  

But en1 still appears in ifconfig -a, and future loads of the driver
fail on the call to attachInterface((IONetworkInterface **) &netif,
false)

This must have happened to others..

Thanks,

Drew
