You'd typically not run dhclient in daemon mode in a SoC, since you =
don't want to chew up the memory all the time, and you'd likely replace =
the system dhclient with one that's simpler...  But the network =
notification part of devd would be trivial to reproduce if you wanted in =
a specialized daemon that would do what's required.
