For server you don't use wireless but bonding/failover but either way your
networking system needs to be able to adapt gracefully to link changes
without requiring someone to change static config manually (you can
configure bonding statically but it's far from ideal)

A properly written network management daemon helps everyone, from the
tablet to the cluster farm.
