24 Some of my servers have a back-end nic that has static config defined,
25 and i use netplug or ifplugd for that to bring the iface up and down
26 based on link -- link detection != auto-configuration, imo.

28 Suffice to say, networkmanager is not a reasonable means to determine
29 link state for oldnet. Newnet, well, all of that gets handled outside
30 of openrc's config anyhow so...

32 But this is getting a little beyond the original point of the thread.. :)
