Details
ethnator is a daemon running scripts on Ethernet linkup / linkdown.
It is only present in the 2110 fw 4.52 (which is a dump) and is called in rc.S:
ethnator -d /etc/init.d/linkdown.sh -u /etc/init.d/linkup.sh
This is just a test case. the scripts just echo "Ethernet aktiviert" or "Ethernet deaktiviert" to the bootlog.
ethnator uses libavm_event.so to monitor link states from the ethernet_connect_status event. 
It calls a linkup-script when the first port goes up, and a linkdown-script when the last port goes down.
ethnator 1.00 - AVM (2007) start scripts depend on states of ethernet-ports Options: -d <eth-linkdown-script> -u <eth-linkup-script> -help this help
