Network Interface Drivers Hints
===============================
Link Up/Down Events
-------------------
You can notifiy the application space of link up/down events in your network
interface driver via the
``if_link_state_change(LINK_STATE_UP/LINK_STATE_DOWN)`` function. The
DHCPCD(8) client is a consumer of these events for example. Make sure that the
interface flag ``IFF_UP`` and the interface driver flag ``IFF_DRV_RUNNING`` is
set in case the link is up, otherwise ``ether_output()`` will return the error
status ``ENETDOWN``.
