Hello people,

As you might know, Solid networking is starting to be used around KDE 
applications, such as Plasma for the weather dataengine. Unfortunately, not 
every user relies on a network manager such as NM or Wicd, hence having a 
check for a link is impossible for them. So, after a discussion on #plasma, I 
created a very simple Solid engine based on the values read in /sys/class/net.

It does nothing more than checking operstate for changes and notifies Solid 
whenever a link is up. I'd like to move this to kdebase, even if soft freeze 
is over, to avoid letting people down for not having a network manager
