Hi Julien,

I actually recently did precisely that as well (also on an APU 
:-)).

You can have up and down scripts with:

set iface up-script /up-stuff
set iface down-script /down-stuff


This is documented with the port in: 
/usr/local/share/doc/mpd5/mpd28.html

Cheers, and enjoy the *much* better performance :-)
