Basically when you plug in the network cable, the interface is started, when you disconnect, it is stopped. This is very nice for laptops with built in NICs and I'm sure in other cases. The developer assigned to this bug has requested email on the lists for people who would like this functionality before it will be added to portage. If you would like to see this patch added, please reply to this message.
