Hum.. but shouldn't the driver detect the lack of cable (when it's plugged out)?

Same question.. this doesn't feel the correct way to solve this.. but just a
workaround..

Simple.. to detect when I connect it to a cable and to automatically run dhcpcd
or dhclient to fetch for a network config.
Basically, in my university i have to jump from room to room, disconnecting and
connecting back in onother room, basically.. allways on the move.. ehehe
The ability to detect a wired cable and try to get a network config is pretty nice.
But having those messages in the console just because I desconnected the cable
is not very nice.. I could go for a message like.. lost connection bla bla.. and
~ another one when it got a connection back.. .but the present kind of verbosity
is not welcome.
