dhcpcd determines a working carrier from the IFF_RUNNING flag against
the interface and listens to RTM_NEWLINK and RTM_DELLINK kernel
messages.

Although this has changed slightly in my latest development version. Why
not try a trunk copy? You can get the latest code doing this with git:

git clone git://roy.marples.name/dhcpcd.git

Thanks
