It might make sense at some point to expand g-v-m (or add another policy
piece) to do more than just volume management, yeah.  But for now it
only does volumes.

Well, g-s-t could listen for those HAL events today and come up whenever
a new network device is plugged in through the use of HAL callouts.
That'd also alleviate the need to have another daemon (or increasing
"bloat" in g-v-m).  I've toyed around with a couple callouts which bring
up the YaST printer configurator when a USB printer is plugged in on
SUSE.
