Will this cover the UseCase of having a DHCP enabled Interface which starts
asking for IP if the interface is coming up? or is this already considered
as interactive uses case? in embedded this is often a standard configuration
as such devices don't have a interactive interface and assigning a IP via
DHCP makes the live much easier.

currently we integrate http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/ifplugd/
