If I understand you correctly: No, not really.
What I'm looking for is a place to put a script that is called whenever
any working internet connection becomes available, whether it is by LAN,
WAN, dial-up, or anything else. I can do this on a per-interface basis
by putting 'up /path/script' lines in /etc/network/interfaces, but I am
looking for a place that is interface-independent. In my script, I do
not need to know the name of the interface that provides the internet
connection, but of course it wouldn't hurt to have this information
either.
