    Dunno for udevadm. I've used my own uevent logger in the past to
watch what was happening.

    It is clear that the driver logs a message every time the cable is
plugged/unplugged; I've observed that many times on various hosts. But I
don't think if it generates an uevent for that, therefore, I don't this
message is from udev and I dunno how ifplugd is notified.
