i think the manpage and example ifstated.conf gives you an idea for what
i do with it; but mainly to help fail devices not based on link state. i
believe the code is relatively portable, but it does use event(3), which
i'm not sure if freebsd has, at least in base. there may be other
things, but i haven't really looked closely. that being said, most times
you don't need it.
