hi.

although it might not seem it initially, i think ifconfig is quite
intuitive. it has options, and you can deselect them by prefixing them
with "-".

so i don;t see any real benefit in adding your proposed change.

having said that, although "mediaopt monitor" should work (as you
describe), it should be quicker to just use "monitor" and "-monitor" to
flip it on and off. i say should, because i haven;t tried it and don;t
want to go through the rigmarole of disconnectioning this machine to
test it.
