There's a netif_carrier_ok(struct net_device *) call for this purpose.
I can't think of any better way other than doing a select on a file descriptor.
Is there a better way to do this?
I want to send some packets when there's change in the carrier status and I am looking for a generic solution other then hacking into the various drivers codes.
Thanks for any advices!

Hi All,
I am not sure if I should post this question over here
or not.
Is there a way to detect the link failure of an
interface. As if we run routing and link shuts on an
interface, down it doesn't bring the interface.. which
is really a bad thing for real time networks.
Is there some hardawre monitering tool which will help
me in detecting the link failure.
Thanks,
NItin
