  Putting scripts into /etc/network/if-up.d would probably work.

  This info can come from the DHCP server, the PPP remote end, or
static in /etc/network/interfaces again.

  Scripts are your friends there :-)

  At least on Debian, there's a "diald" package that does exactly
this.  I guess it could be ported to Openmoko.
