Hi and welcome to using QNX :-)

QNX networking is more like NetBSD than Linux so you can draw on NetBSD 
experience if you have. I'm actually not sure how udev does what you're 
referring to on Linux so please excuse if I'm misunderstanding. One 
method to learn when interfaces are added is the routing socket. 
Utilities which use it include e.g. 'route monitor' and 'ifwatchd'. 
Please see the utilities references:

PS. I'm assuming you're using io-pkt not io-net?

Cheers!
