We could get into troubleshooting that, checking that the interface has 
been brought fully down, checking lsmod for dependent modules, etc.  But 
the simplest thing to try is rebooting.  If it works upon reboot then 
the original problem and your consequential problem above are both avoided.

I concur with another poster that one way or another this is a bug.  But 
the tough question to be solved in order to remedy it is the status of 
hotpluggable interfaces.  For instance what is the meaning of ONBOOT 
when the interface is hotpluggable?
