[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#518368: NM abandoned hooks for scripts in /etc/network/if-pre-up.d

[Marcel Dischinger]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.7.1-2
Severity: normal

See Ubuntu Bug #336736
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/336736

I am also highly interested in getting these hooks back.
In my case, I have to run an application to authenticate with the corp
network here. This has to happen before NetworkManager calls the dhcp
client as dhcp will fail otherwise.

The current situation is very confusing, also given that 01ifupdown in
this package has entries for if-pre-up.d and so far I found no 
documentation that this part is supposed to not work anymore.

Thanks.
