Hm, it should be included in your distro.  What are you running?

But it's attached to a network connection, correct?  If so, why not link
it to the network device?

Sounds like you aren't running as root to do that.

Anyway, try grabbing the version of hotplug from rawhide/fedora that
should be a good base to work off of.  Other than that, I really have no
idea what's going wrong.  It doesn't look to be a kernel or udev error,
so I'll be of no help :)

Good luck,
