+Network Interface Drivers Hints
+===============================
+
+Link Up/Down Events
+-------------------
+
+You can notifiy the application space of link up/down events in your network
+interface driver via the
+``if_link_state_change(LINK_STATE_UP/LINK_STATE_DOWN)`` function.  The
+DHCPCD(8) client is a consumer of these events for example.  Make sure that the
+interface flag ``IFF_UP`` and the interface driver flag ``IFF_DRV_RUNNING`` is
+set in case the link is up, otherwise ``ether_output()`` will return the error
+status ``ENETDOWN``.
