Running rdate after networking connection with WLAN and DHCP isestablished

Hello NG,

I just set up my Debian Linux system and it's working fine. I am writing
this message with this computer.

To have the exact time I want to often update the time information.
Therefor it is useful to run rdate sometimes. Is possible to tell Debian
to run this everytime when the network connection is established?

I know I could init this command in the runlevel start scripts but the
problem is WLAN and DHCP. This takes some time to be set up. Before I
got the IP rdate cannot be run. Do you know a solution?
