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.
