I'm planning to (and, in fact, currently do on my own laptop) just
run `/sbin/ifup <dev>` when link state is first detected and
`/sbin/ifdown <dev>` when it disappears. It does all the hard work for
me. :-) Including if-up.d and if-down.d which I guess is what you're
looking for?
Thanks for the positive feedback.
