- Brings up/down ethernet ports automatically with cable detection
+ ifplugd is a Linux daemon which will automatically configure your
+ ethernet device when a cable is plugged in and automatically
+ unconfigure it if the cable is pulled. This is useful on laptops
+ with onboard network adapters, since it will only configure the
+ interface when a cable is really connected.
