This can (and should) be done easily with dispatcher scripts. There's
a lot of things that might need to be changed depending on location
(things like printers, browser proxies, SMTP server, firewall, ...)
and NM should not try to do everything. Instead, it should provide an
easy way to add hooks and that's what the dispatcher is for.
