I've tried most of them and haven't found anything that really works
for me (apaert from ifplugd which does are very simple job and does it
well).  I want something that will work with many PPP and ethernet
setups and integrate with ifupdown (i'm still waiting for PPP
settings to go in /etc/network/interfaces as well) and set things like
the exim smart-host.  I'd say whereami is the closest to being usefull
but its hard enough to setup that I still do stuff by hand.
