[ltp] Question on ifplugd and ACPI suspend

[Andrey Kislyuk]

If you're on gentoo, there's a new service coming out for the new 
baselayout (1.12) called netplug, which replaces ifplugd functionality 
in a much more lightweight package. It does all I want it to do with 
zero configuration and I'm happy since now I don't have to deal with 
ifplugd bugs.

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -avt baselayout netplug

I'm not sure if or when this will make it to other distributions.
