Hi,

there is even a better solution. The ip-up and ip-down scipts are called
automatically in the appropriate case. But instead of modifieng these scripts
and calling your own scipt from there, you could integrate the calls to your
scripts into ip-up.local and ip-down.local. If these two exist, they are also
automatically called when ip-up/ip-down are executed. The benefit is, that these
.local scipts are newer overwritten when your system changes, e.g. pkgs are
installed or removed, but when you use the non .local scripts your own changes
may break.
