--7AUc2qLy4jB3hD7Z Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I've noticed that various versions of Windows can detect whether my ethernet card has a "live" connection. If I pull the cable or if the other end goes dead, Windows knows about it. I've been looking at making a firewall/NAT machine using FreeBSD and was wondering if there is any way to determine this situation in FreeBSD. It would be nice to be able to emit a beep or update an internal stats website when my router's connection goes dead. --=20 Sean Kelly | PGP KeyID: 77042C7B smkelly@zombie.org | http://www.zombie.org For PGP key, send e-mail with subject "send pgp key" --7AUc2qLy4jB3hD7Z Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE8Gm+i2aukpHcELHsRAhFRAKCXM5v0SuBddGh3SxgyJbkBTZuH2QCfQKa6 fHsXKj4Hf4q62HLcVckz5dk= =rEwj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --7AUc2qLy4jB3hD7Z-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
