The problem with this approach is that some network interfaces do not do the detection of the link if they are asleep. And if they are down, they are asleep. It is the case on my iBook. I have circumvent the difficulty in whereami: I "up" the interface, wait a bit and test the link. But I think that doing this every 5 seconds may draw the battery. Grab ethtool and test it on an interface which has been down for 15 seconds to test. -- BOFH excuse #404: Sysadmin accidentally destroyed pager with a large hammer. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
