One item I forgot to mention:
Post ifup hooks are definitely a feature of Debian
(and therefore Debian-derived distros, like Ubuntu); it's meant
to be used to handle custom actions that are needed when the
network comes on/offline (eg: taking the NTP client offline when
there's no network). I have no idea if similar ideas are
implemented in other distros and I'm sure even if they are, it's
probably done differently.
I believe Debian implements hooks for all aspects of the network
management process, but I rarely mess with them, so I'm not
sure.

with the distro forum, and hope to resolve it.
