Hi boys,
Is some mechanism which can I use to notify user space program
asynochronously that link on my ethernet device is is down or up ? ( I can't
use polling like ethtool - i think that control every second state of link on
ethernet through some of ioctl is no good).
Use netlink to monitor the device. read source in iproute2/ip/ipmon.c to get
the general idea.
And/or grab source to keepalived and see how they do it.
