Ummm....going out on a limb here since I'm no hotplug expert, but
AFAIK hotplug refers to *devices* being plugged into a bus that is
"hot pluggable." An example of such a bus is USB, or Cardbus.
The link going up or down is not the same as the ethernet driver being
plugged in and out of a device bus like USB. Perhaps that is why it
does not run ifup/down.
See /usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.4.18/Documentation/usb/hotplug.txt.gz
for some more information.
Feel free to tell me I'm wrong, I'd like to know.
Cheers!
