netcardconfig: Run ifdown immediately before configuring the network …

…device

When running netcardconfig is set offline before the configuration is
completed. The network configuration should only be touched after
everything is set.

While at it also removed the sleep phase. The network interface should
be release and down fine after the ifdown is completed.
