To make it more generic one could retrieve an IP address of one of your DNS
servers and ping that bad boy. Or even go down the list before looping.

Or if you want to keep it simple, ping the loopback IP address commonly
used. But that doesn't rely upon the comm interface being up.
Part of that same API is fields like "is the stack up?"
