Anyone knows if it's possible to trigger a script when network connection is established?

TIA.
You can make an upstart script that triggers on whatever combination of conditions you want. Just model it after scripts in /etc/upstart. Be VERY careful, because ANY script that fails can make the rest of them NOT run, bricking your kindle.
