I'm afraid I don't know - I'm insufficiently familiar with your distro
and the tools you're trying to use. I'll take a guess though. Being
Debian based, the chances are it puts network configuration
in /etc/network/ so perhaps you have to do some /etc/network/interfaces
magic with pre_up commands. Any Debian gurus want to have a try?

By the way, I found your mail a little hard to read, and suspect others
may have as well. You may get a better response if you spend a little
more time writing a bit more carefully.
