You can accomplish some of the things that netenv does by adding "stanzas" to your /etc/network/interfaces file as well. The way I do it now for both wired and wireless is, ########fragment of /etc/network/interfaces auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp iface home inet dhcp wireless-essid xxxxxx wireless-key yyyyyyy iface tmobile inet dhcp wireless-essid tmobile iface eds inet dhcp wireless-essid zzzzzz wireless-key aaaaaaa Then when I want an interface to come up if I am at a coffee shop, I just do an if up eth1=tmobile and I get my linksys WPC54G talking with a new set of defaults. I used to work at a place that only had static IPs so I had a stanza in there for that place as well called fittingly "work" :) -- Michael Perry [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
