yeah it does. what distro are you using?? you can use ifconfig generically

ifconfig eth0 down

each distro have custom scripts to do it though.

To stop a NIC (eth0) you can do ifconfig eth0 down. To kill an active ppp connection you could use ps -ef | grep ppp | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill.

To bring up a NIC do a ifconfig eth0 up. To start a new ppp connection do a ppp-watch ppp0 ifcfg-ppp0 up.

"ifup eth0" and "ifdown eth0" should also work, and are presumably just a lame script around ifconfig.
