You have to write why you want to change it and why we should use. |

As reported in openwrt#23410 Network interface reset doesn't work as expected on a Wireguard VPN interface and in openwrt#27927 lt2p interface won't reboot, and mentioned in openwrt#27248, the current implementation of the option to restart an interface when connectivity check fails for some period does not result in an interface restart for all interface. Notably 'virtual' interfaces such as Wireguard and L2TP do not restart. The solution that works is to use `ifup <interface>` instead of only changing the link status. This commit is based on the one in openwrt#27248 by @rondoval, who unfortunately has not updated the commit message as requested for half a year. Signed-off-by: Daniel F. Dickinson <dfdpublic@wildtechgarden.ca>
