Maybe this is the wrong place, but is iproute going to honor
USERCTL="yes" in the ifcfg scripts? It seems it currently doesn't
whereas ifup/ifdown do:

USERCTL="yes"
% ip link set em2 down

maybe you are looking for etcnet:

/etc/net represents a new approach to Linux network configuration tasks.
Inspired by the limitations of traditional network configuration subsystems,
/etc/net provides builtin support for configuration profiles, interface name
management, removable devices, full iproute2 command set, interface
dependencies resolution, QoS and firewall configuration frameworks.
/etc/net provides support for the following interface types: Ethernet, WiFi
(WEP), IPv4/IPv6 tunnels, PSK IPSec tunnels, VLAN, PLIP, Ethernet bonding and
bridging, traffic equalizer, Pent@NET, Pent@VALUE, SkyStar-2, TUN/TAP,
OpenVPN TUN/TAP, OpenSSH TUN/TAP, usbnet and PPP.
Due to its modular structure, support for new interface types can be added
without overall design changes.

It's used by ALTLinux since aug-2004
