Description-en: network link monitor daemon
This daemon monitors the link status of network cards and configures
the network on plug- and un-plug-events.
.
It's similar to ifplugd, but uses NETLINK instead of regularly polling
the link status. This improves power-consumption with laptops, but does
not work with all network card. And it can't be configured to ignore short
unplugged or plugged periods like ifplugd.
