While we are talking about nm-applet (I hate to change subject), I run 
certain scripts when network goes up/down via post-up, pre-down, 
post-down lines in /etc/network/interfaces and it seems that with these 
lines in place nm-applet is unable to bring connection up/down and 
"thinks" that the network is down when in fact it is active.

With the same scripts in /etc/network/if-[post|pre]-[up|down].d/ 
directories (and not defined in the 'interfaces' file), nm-applet works 
fine, but the scripts in if-down.d/ are not exactly executed *before* 
the connection goes down (which is unacceptable for the purposes of the 
scripts I'm developing).  netapplet, on the other hand, handles both the 
'interface' file and script directory setups just fine.  Could this be 
an nm-applet problem?  (I'm running a debian lenny system in case this 
is relevant.)  Thanks.
