This looks like what you're asking for and it's open source....I've not
tried it, but it "looks" like what you've asked for.

There are 3 (among others) ways you can adjust your network settings.
You can manually edit your /etc/network/interfaces file, you can use
system/administration/network, or you can click the
network-manager-applet in the top right part of your screen.
It sounds like you have a Wired and a Wireless lan that you want to
bring up. I would suggest using the system/administration/network
tool for this.
Wicd, as mentioned by Jason, will likely and eventually replace the
current tools.

Aloha Gurus,
I run FreeBSD servers and desktops and now I have an HP Mini 1000 netbook
with Ubuntu OS.
I have setup the /etc/network/interfaces :
The manual connection works OK for my ATM circuit wired network, now I want
to set a second network config for my LAN wireless.
Any body on Luau had experience with a wired network link. I want to set it
up manually so I dont lose the wired settings for when I am on the ATM
circuit. Using the helper apps on the Netbook is not an option as it doesnt
seem to play nice with more than one config.
I am trying to set up the wireless so I can use either it or the wired link,
obviously not both. With out losing either configuration.
Also I want to know if it can be setup to work in a Starbucks configuration
with DHCP again with out losing the existing configs.
Note: Using the autoconfig helper destroys everything existing if you use
it. I am used to command like setups for networks not the GUI point and
click.
Any help appreciated.
Mahalo...

Aloha Scott,
Mahalo for pointing me in the right direction.
I was able to lock the network admin settings into manual mode and that
worked. I was able to put both wlan and eth0 into the network/interfaces
file and can usr the ifup and ifdown to use either. I also made backup
files of the settings in the directory too.
You have any thoughts on how I can get a cafe link to not override every
thing if I wanted to use the netbook at a Starbucks or other place with
wifi? I'm afraid that the auto config over writes the networks file if
you use it.
