Deactivating an interface does not make deactivation under UNIX obsolete in terms
of removing a controller fully from the network. The deactivation simply prevents
NetBIOS from sending broadcasts to the subnetworks and from using the IP
address as the source address. NetBIOS will still send and receive packets over an
interface which is UP in the sense of
ifconfig(1M)
, even if it is deactivated by
nbconfig
.
