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" - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
