This calls up a script called config-network (or something very similiar, 
which can be invoked from a shell.
	To read your usb device, I'm sure you mount it as /dev/sda1 as if it was a 
scsi device. Ensure the device is actually being mounted by looking at dmesg 
after plugging the device in. If that's ok take a look 
at /proc/scsi/usb-storage for a file with a number. If it exists do  a 
cat /proc/scsi/usb-storage/* to see if it represents the device you are 
attaching.
	Assuming it isn't, you'll need to edit a file, it is something 
like /etc/updfstab. In there you will find lots of devices that are ready to 
be hot-plugged. By performing a cat /proc/scsi/scsi you'll get a listing of 
your device and the specif info you'll need. Have a look at the updfstab and 
the /proc/scsi/scsi to figure out what you need and where.
	Hope that helps.
