This provides hotplug support which the busybox version does not. I'm torn on 
where it should land i.e. meta-networking vs core but it is a useful addition 
regardless.

If you're attempting to do a non busybox based build, then I don't see the 
reasoning for not just using connman as your networking manager instead which is 
already supported in core.
