SubjectRe: patch for common networking error messages
From
   From: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org>

Read the hotplug thread to see how Linus
said, he will never add a binary event daemon interface.

Funny, rtnetlink is exactly this and it is in the tree :-)

Every networking configuration event is transmitted over
rtnetlink sockets to all listeners, in a fixed binary
format.

What Linus doesn't want is this for configuration events,
ie. things like "device appears" not "my ethernet burped"
