You can program the necessary dbus calls yourself.  However, I just created a 
tool to do exactly this.  Take a look at dbus-scripts on 
http://www.cobb.uk.net/770/index.html.

If you install dbus-scripts you can then create a file in /etc/dbus-scripts.d 
containing the line:

/some/script * * com.nokia.icd status_changed * WLAN_INFRA

and /some/script will be called each time a WLAN event notification is seen on 
the dbus.  In the script, $5 will be the interface name and $7 the new state 
(IDLE, CONNECTED, etc.).
