Sorry, terminology mixup. By 'configuration information' here, I meant
stuff about IP addresses, routes, type of interfaces, etc, regardless
of whether the information comes from a config file, or the kernel
Whether an interface is up or down isn't a configuration property in
this sense, so is outside scope of the XML description IMHO.
