On Debian, I use ifplugd and waproamd to to make my notebook
automatically detect if my WLAN card is inserted or the network cable
is plugged into the NIC. Since I use DHCP everywhere, there will always
be a valid network configuration. Maybe ifplugd has the posibility to
execute any scripts depending on the current network configuration.
This way a script could ssh to the desktop and mount your notebook or
take any other action to start syncing.
