Hi all,
I need to detect when an interface (wired ethernet) has link up/down.
Is there a system signal which is sent when this happens? What is the
best way to this programatically?
mii-tool?

ERRORS, TRUE, FALSE, Eth0, FAIL are macros that you should be able
to figure out for yourself. Maybe you don't have bzero() you
can use memset(x, 0x00, n).
