Preemption depends on this. You want router2 to preempt router1 on
the network, where router1 has working interface, when router1 has
a non-working interface in the other network, right? To do this
router1 must give up its mastering on all nets if one interface went
down. To tell whether interface went down or not we need a NIC that
is capable to detect this.
