[Solved] Show Connection in Use [netcfg]

hi!
I've just installed netcfg2 and it works great (thanks iphitus for your work!)
I've a stupid question in mind..
Actually I start manually my wireless connection (if active) and I leave arch connect to my eth0 automatically (simply adding eth0 on rc.conf interfaces).
what I ask you is .. is there a way to show what is the currently active connection ?
(like the crappy NetworkManager applet do)
ex. eth0 -> cable_connection
     wlan0 -> SSID
thanks for your answers.
bye!

I think I'll try ifplugd (I hope it fix the long /etc/rc.d/network stop/start time, because it wait for ethernet timeout)
The long timeout results from you restarting the network init script with no cable attached. netcfg does not need the network script, so if you're switching from wired to wifi, just stop network, then run netcfg.
You might find it useful to set up a profile for your wired connection too - then you could manage both of them with netcfg.
