I was not sure if having it reset during ifup makes more sense. Does the
clock go away when the interface is down? I can't test that right now.
It is my primary interface so it is always up on my device.

Just finished doing an initial test of quickly making the same changes
you sent. Looks like it fixes the problem I was seeing.

Makes sense. Stop reseting the clock and it will not reset.
