Isn't this a duplicate of #9594?

comment:2 by diver, 10 years ago

I'm not sure. in #9594: 

~> ifconfig del /dev/net/ipro1000/0
~> ifconfig /dev/net/ipro1000/0 up
ifconfig: Could not add interface: General system error

~> ifconfig /dev/net/ipro1000/0
/dev/net/ipro1000/0
        Hardware type: Ethernet, Address: 08:00:27:b8:ae:41
        MTU: 0, Metric: 0

...and this here: 

~> ifconfig /dev/net/ipro1000/0 
/dev/net/ipro1000/0
        Interface not found!

It's definitely a duplicate. The reason you get different output is because we changed ifconfig to spit out an "Interface not found!" message if you call it on a non-existing interface.
