/*
From initial port to busybox, removed most of the redundancy by
converting implementation of a polymorphic interface to the strict
functional style. The main role is run a script when link state
changed, other activities like audio signal or detailed reports
are on the script itself.

One questionable point of the design is netlink usage:

We have 1 second timeout by default to poll the link status,
it is short enough so that there are no real benefits in
using netlink to get "instantaneous" interface creation/deletion
notifications. We can check for interface existence by just
doing some fast ioctl using its name.

Netlink code then can be just dropped (1k or more?)
