In /etc/network/interfaces you can add 'up <command>' and
'down <command>' stanzas to the paragraph of the interface
in question. Clearly there's no xauth in that environment,
so lazy me uses 'wall' (I always have an xterm up).
Having it pop up a GUI notification is an exercise I'll
leave to others. (Hint: you'll probably have to set
DISPLAY and do an xauth merge)
