HAL 0.5.x & networking

[Sean Meiners]

I've been investigating HAL and decided to look at the latest release  
(0.5.2) and noticed it no longer seems to monitor network devices as  
the 0.4.x series did.  Specifically, no events were generated when  
the network cable was unplugged, or the interface was brought up or  
down.  I was wondering if this was intentionally removed?  Or if it's  
just something that hadn't been ported to the new architecture yet?   
I'm asking mostly to prevent duplication of effort since I was  
planning on writing an addon for it today since I need it for part of  
a larger project I'm working on to try and make networking on Linux  
work as well as it does on Mac (forget Windows).

PS: HAL is the best thing I've seen come to Linux since D-BUS =)
