Hello Alberto,
To solve the problem, here is what I have done. I wrote a service called
"netconfig" which runs before net.* and wlan. The file is attached and is
put in /etc/init.d. I set it up to run using "rc-update add netconfig
boot"...
If you look at the begining of the program, there is a list of configuration
files that it changes based on an environment variable called NetConfig...
What is expected is that if NetConfig is set, then link the file-$NetConfig to
file. I use a hard link as it seemed to work better...
To set NetConfig, at the end of each "kernel" line in grub.conf, I have
NetConfig=HWLAN, or whatever...
The only issue I am currently working on is that sometimes, when I go from a
fixed IP to dhcp, the system remembers the fixed IP, I am not sure how it
does it, but is has happened to me a few times. Other than that, I currently
have three main configurations; dhcp, fixed IP, and my home wireless...
Let me know if the program is helpful to you...
