In that case you could missuse the ddclient (used for dyndns). It checks the IP on the router - if the link fails - your interface goes down - e.g. no more connection - and the system will notice there is no IP. When the Interface comes back up - you can use that script to also trigger another script - adapted to your needs. Used that back in time - when I still used Dynamic IP's ...
