Description

Currently, NICs are assumed to be "UP" from when it is first enabled to program termination.

This is not an accurate way to represent NICs which may be brought down administratively for some valid reason.

The stack should handle such lifecycle events properly (i.e. deleting/initializing any relevant dynamic state)
