Well, you can look at KNetworkConf code that uses gnome-system-tools network 
backend to obtain all the network info (ethernet/wireless interfaces, ip 
addresses, netmasks, routes, dns servers, interfaces states, etc) and it 
works in around 15 platforms, including FreeBSD. Maybe I could make a library 
or something that other apps could use too. Also you could take a look at 
knemo to see how it detects if the network is up or down.

P.D.: gnome-system-tools backends don't have ANY dependancy on gneme at all, 
they are a bunch of perl scripts that return a xml file with the network 
configuration.


Cheers,
