Hi,

I see that eth0 has a ATTR{carrier}.
Are there any events that could be used
to trigger RUN rules when that changes?

How about ATTR{operstate}?

If not, is there somewhere I should be
looking besides udev?

There's a comment in the list archives
back in 2001 from Andrew Morton saying
that "better netdevice manageability"
is a goal, but I can't find any
further reference.

Thank you.
