Unfortunately I don't have a clue about scripts yet. I tried to copy the
hook for whereami from the start section of the network script to the
stop section, but without much success. Whereami is called then, but
unfortunately before the removal of the wlan modules, so that whereami
still detects them.

It's not a top priority for me. I was keen to use it, but more for the
fun than that I really need it ;-)
