Question How to detect ip change

I'm doing some kernel module programming. What I am considering is how to detect if the ip of the host is changed. I would prefer not to try the stupid way like keep checking the ip. Anybody know about it? Any free source code available?

The IP of which host? Your localhost or another computer? If it is the local machine, then are you worried about the actual IP of the adapter or your external (WAN) IP address.

If the later (or if your computer is not behind a router and/or firewall) then the following *may* help:

Is there anyway to do it in C programming? The link you give me is for shell programming.
