usb0 configuration doesn't respect usb events

Description

The usb0 network interface is never affected by USB plug-in or unplug (to a PC).

I believe the most correct behavior should be to at least do "ifdown usb0" upon unplugging, and "ifup usb0" upon plugging in.

This is much desired to allow better networking infrastructure, like automatic reconfiguration of NAT from several optional external interfaces (USB / GPRS / WiFi?).

Listening to the udev events while unplugging / plugging in does not show anything related to USB, only to power supply:

udevmonitor will print the received events for:
UDEV the event which udev sends out after rule processing
UEVENT the kernel uevent

# unplug:
UEVENT[949434728.174830] change   /devices/platform/bq27000-battery.0/power_supply/bat (power_supply)
UDEV  [949434728.188090] change   /devices/platform/bq27000-battery.0/power_supply/bat (power_supply)
UEVENT[949434728.724675] change   /devices/platform/bq27000-battery.0/power_supply/bat (power_supply)
UDEV  [949434728.741022] change   /devices/platform/bq27000-battery.0/power_supply/bat (power_supply)

#plug:
UEVENT[949434735.734659] change   /devices/platform/bq27000-battery.0/power_supply/bat (power_supply)
UDEV  [949434735.747487] change   /devices/platform/bq27000-battery.0/power_supply/bat (power_supply)
UEVENT[949434736.459851] change   /devices/platform/bq27000-battery.0/power_supply/bat (power_supply)
UDEV  [949434736.474648] change   /devices/platform/bq27000-battery.0/power_supply/bat (power_supply)
UEVENT[949434736.784914] change   /devices/platform/bq27000-battery.0/power_supply/bat (power_supply)
UDEV  [949434736.800844] change   /devices/platform/bq27000-battery.0/power_supply/bat (power_supply)

I would expect some kind of USB event in udev... if not, then where else should we get an event?

Yes we see the same problem .
Expect something like that : UDEV [1236221436.149443] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.0/usb1/1-1/1-1:1.0/net/usb0 (net)

Actual: UEVENT[1236247478.371376] change /class/power_supply/usb (power_supply)
UEVENT[1236247478.374888] change /class/power_supply/adapter (power_supply)
UDEV [1236247478.398827] change /class/power_supply/usb (power_supply)
UEVENT[1236247478.406588] change /class/power_supply/ac (power_supply)
