How about also adding a sysctl for setting a delay time between event
and disabling of the route? Then even people with roaming wlan cards can
benefit.
Also it is in my opinion that the route be disabled (moved to a passive

At my old job i came across situations where the lack of this feature
caused headaches and once or twice the loss of a customer.
