I have never used it myself, but there are PreUp and PostDown hooks
implemented in NetworkOptions. Just put define PreUp in
/System/Settings/NetworkOptions like below (if your device name is
rausb0):

function rausb0_PreUp() {
  echo "Enabling rausb0, please wait..."
  ifconfig rausb0 up
  iwconfig rausb0 essid "******"
  iwconfig rausb0 mode Managed
  iwpriv rausb0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK
  iwpriv rausb0 set EncrypType=TKIP
  iwpriv rausb0 set WPAPSK="*********"
  ifconfig rausb0 up
}

The PostDown function is then logically called rausb0_PostDown and can
be used the same way.
