Ray, I may be mistaken, but I think this approach is bound to fail with packet drivers that connect and disconnect on their own, like the PPPoE driver PEPA. How would your core recognize if the packet driver has connected if it is installed all the time? Also, please note that with PPPoE, you need to load *two* packet drivers, one for the networking card, and one that handles the PPPoE protocol. Chances are that your core might "sniff out" the wrong one.
