Should we also decrease the polling interval?  Perhaps only when the

is unplugged?

Sounds like a plan. 60 seconds certainly strikes me as being very slow.
OTOH, I'm not aware of the reasoning behind this choice in the first place.
It might make sense for some odd setups.

Since I don't even have any HW to play around with, I think I'll step
down for now.

The standard for Becker drivers is 5 seconds if link is down, and 60 
seconds if link is up, IIRC.
