Hi Adar, > I asked this question on the linux-wireless IRC channel last week but I don't think anyone was around at the time, so here it is over e-mail. > > We have a userlevel application that uses a netlink socket to figure out when networking interfaces on the system go up or down. It does so by looking at all RTM_NEWLINK messages that arrive on the socket and examining their ifi_flags fields. We interpret the presence of both IFF_UP and IFF_RUNNING to mean that an interface has gone up, while the lack thereof to mean that an interface is down. I would look for IFF_LOWER_UP actually. Using only IFF_RUNNING is a pretty bad idea.
