'Link_detected' returns 'yes' if the network card is attached to a cable (or other media), 'no' if it's disconnected and 'n/a' if the link state can't be determined (if the network interface is down). This is an information that might be useful for some plug-ins - Ginger, for instance - to present to the user.
