Have you read http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/ifplugd/ ?

There isn't much to it. You have to remove the 'auto eth0' line from
/etc/network/interfaces so /etc/init.d/S40network doesn't try to run
udhcpc at bootup. With ifplugd running it will execute
/etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.action <iface> <up|down> whenever it detects a link
change. By default this script will simply call ifup <iface> / ifdown
<iface>.
