The following should do what you want based on ifconfig instead of ping. Enjoy:
There is an advantage with using ping to the outside: it keeps the connection up. Some providers use a timeout and if they see no activity, they kill the connection.
AFAIK, some devices (ADSL Modem) have "nailed-up" connection feature to avoid link disconnection by providers. Does SuSE also have it? Please advise how-to set the nailed-up the link besides pinging the peer. Thanks.
