One way is to use DHCP on both networks. Then you only have to
eject/reinsert your PCMCIA ethernet card when you plug into the other
network.
On my notebook, running potato, I use the 'pump' DHCP client, which I
installed (with apt) and configured with the 'pcnetconfig' command. My
school's network has a DHCP server, and I set one up on my home
computer (which is running Redhat) with not too much difficulty, just
had to install the package and edit the sample config file (and recompile my
kernel b/c I was missing some features that were in the stock kernel).
Of course, if both networks don't have DHCP servers (and you don't
have permission to set one up) then this won't work.
