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?
BTW, it might be a good idea to trigger some hotplug event on
interface up/down... or just send a netlink message. instead of
polling the interface. The same applies to removable media too
(CD or ZIP drive).
