That aside --

Probably Click should not crash the kernel when this happens. (When someone
loads or unloads a device on which Click depends.)

It seems like the best way to get around this problem is Linux's NETDEV_UP
and NETDEV_DOWN notifier chains. These are called when an interface goes up
or down, respectively. Each of the *Device elements could listen for
down/up events and behave appropriately. That would also mean people could
swap interface cards without killing the Click configuration.

What do people think? Is this a good way to solve the problem?
