  Description     : ethernet link beat detection daemon

This utility keeps the promise laptop-net's ifd made. It is a daemon which
configures your ethernet device only when a cable is attached. When the
cable is unplugged, the interface is automatically shut down. The daemon is
simple C, only 14k as binary and integrates well with debian's ifupdown. I
am using it quite happy since some time on my Woody box and I'd love to this
it in the official distribution.

Thanks, 
 Lennart
