You are really using hotplug2 for a device?  Are you insane?  That's
very old, unsupported, and buggy code that was a totally bad idea when I
wrote it.

Please do not use it, it will break and cause bad things to happen.

And no, there are no hotplug events for link up/down, use ethtool like
it is designed for.

thanks,
