Hello,
Yes, it seems to me you need a "hearbeat". You could write small script to
ping out via that interface every so often. If the ping fails, then call
ifconfig to down the card. That should do it, right?
HTH,
Joe Pepin

Attempt to ping whatever you're plugged into, and if it fails do
whatever you need to do?
Good luck,
