Well, I don't really know what is worse: to have ifupdown to think it's
okay and mark our interface as being up, but not having it really
configured (so we have some inconsistency), or to require a user to run
ifplugd or something to bring it back up when the link is available
again or to run ifup again by hand. Probably I will just implement some
kind of callbacks in the next version of ifupdown so we can make it
really working.
