We're using either ifplugd or netplug. netplug is a lot smaller, but relies on 
good drivers. ifplugd on the other hand works with nearly every driver and is 
a tad bloated.

Incorrect, I think. However, both ifplugd and netplug respond to netlink 
events.

Luckily for you, baselayout will automagically support either, so simply 
emerge one or the other, restart the interface and voila.
