	Hi again.
	
	A little bit offtopic, but i'm interested, if it is possible to detect the
	status of the network-connection. I ask, because it takes a lot of time to
	wait for the dhcp-client if there is no network connection present.
	
	Is it possible to parse a file in /proc or /dev (i'm using devfs and a
	kernel 2.4.20) to see, if there is a network cable (or better: a network
	link) available? If it is possible, i would only start the dhcp client, if
	there is a network available.
	
	
	
	Thanks in advance,
	Oliver
