ifconfig idea

[Serg Belokamen]

Wouldnt be dificult at all.

You will probably need to parse network definition file its either
under /etc/network or /etc/networking on most Debian like systems, or
/etc/sysconfig/network-script/ on fedora...  I dont remember exactly
but all information on network you will need will be in there.

Go from there... There is also a daemon (dont remember the name) that
will check if the network cable is plugged in or not and perform an
action on those events. This is probably what you want.

  Hope it helps.
