Thanks, Graham!  The reason I asked is that I'm a little paranoid
about losing my new friend, either through carelessness or malice, so
I wanted to tell him to run a script whenever he connects to the net;
it sends the IP address and mac address to a CGI script which records
them for future reference.  Thanks to your dbus-scripts package, it
was a pretty simple affair.  I'd post the source, but it's my first
attempt at python, and it's pretty rough around the edges.

Thanks again for the useful package.

You can program the necessary dbus calls yourself.  However, I just created a
tool to do exactly this.  Take a look at dbus-scripts on
http://www.cobb.uk.net/770/index.html.

If you install dbus-scripts you can then create a file in /etc/dbus-scripts.d
containing the line:

/some/script * * com.nokia.icd status_changed * WLAN_INFRA

and /some/script will be called each time a WLAN event notification is seen on
the dbus.  In the script, $5 will be the interface name and $7 the new state
(IDLE, CONNECTED, etc.).
