The former is a physical status, the latter an admin desire :-)
For instance, plugging in the cable does not imply you also want the

Maybe this is only for NetworkManager, I don't see such an option for
ifup/down.
Every time the NIC is brought up, it should assume it's on a different
network and run the dhcp client. What possible justification is there
for not doing so?

How is plugging in a cable supposed to be different from using
