    At least on Fedora 11, the networking scripts will call /sbin/ifup-local ${DEVICE} after bringing up the interfaces. Does that do what you're wanting?

  2. What kind of VPN is it? If you use NetworkManager you can set a VPN to automatically connect itself (For desktop use especially, NM is the recommended form of networking to use on Fedora)
