=========== WARNING ===============

Doing:

sudo restart networking

or

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart.

============ WILL TEAR DOWN MOST OF YOUR DESKTOP =============

Networking is a generic job which brings up all networking interfaces in
the right order at boot.

It should never be stopped nor restarted.

It is only stop at shutdown to correctly bring down all the networking
interfaces in the right order again.

=========== DO NOT RESTART NETWORKING ===============

If you want to reconfigure all networking interface you can use
something like:

 ifdown eth0
 ifup eth0

Or all interfaces with:

 ifdown -a --exclude=lo && ifup -a --exclude=lo
