Actually there is no way to monitor a network card.
IMHO you can only monitor a network link. To avoid checking only one IP,
i use a modified version of fping.monitor (called icmp.monitor)
with an option -l for link check. With -l the monitor only fails, if
no IP replies at all.
I can provide the script, if there is interest.
