If anyone is interested - This is my Script to do this job (I've linked
it into rc2.d/): (Sorry for the german messages)
it detects if my LAN PC Card is plugged in, and if it is, is sets up the
network to my Linux Router at home. It also restores the resolv.conf
file, because dhclient overwrites it everytime I go online with my
Wireless LAN card at my university.

If you think you might find it useful, I could translate and re-post it.

Thanks for the examples! Now I understand how the mapping thing is
supposed to work. Also that check-link.sh script is really cool.
The only problem left (for me) is : how can it automatically
determine whether or not to use DHCP (that is, is the link from home
or not). I don't think that can be automated (GPS ;-)?). What I
really need to do is configure dhcpd at home sometime.
