It should only be able to deal with link changes.
Hmmmm. I disagree here. Link managers, such as wpa_supplicant, should call a generic network script to say "link up/down" and then either configure static ip or do dhcp. Gentoo uses this approach very well. Although I am slightly biased as I wrote that part of Gentoo ;) This is going outside the scope of this discussion though.
Just to clarify - so in this model unplugging and replugging in an
ethernet cable would be expected to run a script which would kill
and potentially restart dhcpdc?
