cardmgr's system of configuring things dependently upon
"scheme,socket,instance,hwaddr" is quite powerful but it is
possible to configure interfaces dependently on these variables
using ifupdown too (... though not so conveniently). See below.

The simplest way to activate hotplug control of network interfaces
is to add this stanza to /etc/network/interfaces:
mapping hotplug
script echo
This makes "ifup eth0=hotplug" equivalent to "ifup eth0". Once this
is added you can add mapping stanzas that cause a logical interface
to be chosen according to the network environment (as guessnet and
ifscout[1] do), according to a scheme (as your script and ifscout do),
according to hwaddr (as /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples/get-mac-address.sh
does), and so on.
mapping eth0
script guessnet
map foo
map bar
iface foo inet static
...
iface bar inet dhcp
