Hi Stephen,

about a year ago you posted a patch which allows to manage
network hotplug via udev (or busybox mdev), which is useful
for low-end embedded platforms that don't want to run ifplugd.

The patch still works with 2.6.32.  Can it get merged or
were there any issues with it?  It seems the discussion
just stopped and the patch was forgotten...
