I think that could have been debugged more easily years ago when all was static (file configuration based) but now with udev events and all that "dynamicallities" it can be more complicated. >> Hum...

Hum... what happens when you attach a USB device to the computer? Kernel detects it and DE mounts it based on user's settings. And what happens when you dettach the key? Kernel (or udev, or both) remove/umount the device. I would have thought that something similar happens with an ethernet device but I've lost the track to udev development and currently I would not put my hand in the fire for what and how it does.
