[LEDE-DEV] Routing two interfaces on same subnet

[Baptiste Clenet]

I think, most simple would be to detect a link up/down with Hotplug
and then run ifup/down on ethernet so route is automatically removed.

I tried to add my hotplug script:
root@:/# cat /etc/hotplug.d/iface/40-eth
# enable access from client network
#[ "$INTERFACE" = lan ] || exit 0
#[ "$ACTION" = ifup -o "$ACTION" = ifupdate ] || exit 0
#echo 'EISOX: Ethernet up' > /dev/kmsg

[ ifup = "$ACTION" ] && {
        echo 'ACTION $ACTION ' > /dev/kmsg
}

but nothing is written in dmesg.
Is hotplug.d enabled?
I'm a bit lost between hotplug, netifd, procd, I've read the OpenWRT
documentation but I'm still confused what the difference and how to
use them
