I have tried to hire the devd daemon to do the job with such small definitions:

But, when the card got the cable attached once again (and interface detects the media type and gets ACTIVE state) devd never triggers the second rule, which should get the interface UP again.

Probably, there is another notify which action is executed before yours
:-) Devd stops scanning sections on the _first_ matched one. Run devd in
debug mode and watch
