Network scripts for ifupdown

This package provides a set of network testing scripts to be used together with the ifupdown package. These scripts can:

  - check the network cable before an interface is configured.
  - test if an assigned IP address is already in use in the network.
  - test if default network gateways are reachable.
  - setup default static routes for interfaces.

This package also provides 'network-test', a script to test the network configuration status by checking:

  - Status of available interface.
  - Availability of configured gateway routes.
  - If host resolution is working properly (DNS checks).
  - If network connectivity is working, including ICMP and web connections to
    remote web servers.
