Hello all.. I am a debian newbie.. So far I really enjoy it.. However, on my old redhat/ximian installation I was able to switch networks very easily using the network configuration gui to deactivate one network card setting and activate the same card using another setting by using some alias eth0:0 etc.
My goal is to not have to remember all the settings and have to type then all in everytime I switch networks. How do I manage switching networks the best? ps. I tried whereami, laptop-netconf, switchconf. these only hosed other things like DNS settings. Thanks, for any help.
