Ok, I packaged it up for tinycorelinux where it is a pending extension
at the moment, most people there don't have an easy to use alternative
to wicd yet.
There's a simple config file where you specify your two interface
names, then everything gets started like this:
ifconfig $WIRED up

I think ifplugd also polls, it uses ethtool to detect changes.
I'll try netplug, which uses netlink(7).
Please let me know if you figure this problem out.

I've yet to debug why /etc/ifplugd/netcfg.action doesn't work for me.
Code is hard to read at first glances.

Cool. ifplugd seems to be exactly what I need.
I just tried running wpa_supplicant in the foreground and it doesn't
output anything when I connect my ethernet cable.

I forgot about dmesg!
And I would rather not use polling. But I guess I should. wicd and
dbus is not the way to go.
I also don't remember why I started using wicd instead of scripting,
there definitely was an other reason, too. Butl, nevermind.

Yes, using the 'wired' driver. However, afaik wpa_supplicant only
handles one device per instance, so any controlling script would need
to manage both instances, and at that point there's no point using

wpa_supplicant puts all its info (i.e., CTRL_EVENT_DISCONNECTED) out
on stderr. Could just pipe that to a shell script.

wpa_supplicant supports wep, here's an example wep stanza:
network={
ssid="kfx"
key_mgmt=NONE
wep_key0=01
20 matches
