if-up.d directory

I was wondering if there is a if-up.d directory to execute arbitrary scripts when a network interface is activated. Ubuntu has one according to this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … omments/64 . Is there a particular package that we need to install for this functionality?

Re: if-up.d directory

if you are using netcfg2 you can use these in profile
# Commands to run at various stages of configuration
PRE_UP=
POST_UP=
PRE_DOWN=
POST_DOWN="some command"

Re: if-up.d directory

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm using wicd at the moment, and while I can set a script to execute on each connection, I want one to execute globally on one of my interfaces (wlan0).
