Querying device states and managing how to react on changes belongs to the topic "device manager" - so it's still a todo. The basic idea is to collect device events that may impact the real-time characteristics of a physical connection (link drops obviously belong in this group...), report them timely to subscribed real-time users (e.g. tasks that sleep for incoming data) so that emergency jobs can be performed, but defer more costly handling like hardware recovery to a low-prio task, e.g. Linux context, maybe even scriptable. Beyond this rough idea, there is no real interface design yet. For the user-visible side, it is likely a good idea to try adopting existing ioctls from the netdevice interface. As usual, it takes someone with both the urging need and the time to give this at least a start. Jan
