Default Detect changes in network settings
Can anyone guide me into a way of detecting changes in network settings (IP address, default gateway, connected wireless network) in the kernel space?

Doing some playing with the kernel so I'd like to be able to detect these changes as they happen and perform a few tasks when they happen.

Thanks

Maybe something to be achieved with kqueue(2) (kevent(2))? See e.g. http://eradman.com/posts/kqueue-tcp.html.
