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.
Aloha Al
Given your depth and experience with FreeBSD and the terminal, you may
find yourself comfortable with the /usr/share/doc/{relevant
documents}. The Debian/Ubuntu realm have good documentation for
configuring various behaviors within /etc/network/. The wpasupplicant
files have good information for profiles.
I know just what you are dealing with. The GUI tool has the ability
to set a profile, but it never really worked well for me. This is
kind of a weak area right now, and it's partly why WICD is becoming so
popular.
The way I handled your situation for years on my old orange ibook
running debian was to create a few /etc/network/interfaces files.
Then I ran a basic script like iamhome, iamatwork, iamatuh, to load
the appropriate configurations for my interfaces. For you, this will
work fine.

Aloha Scott,
Thats what I figured I'd do too.
Brian Chee sent me the how to on the other WAN stuff. I'll try that too.
Thanks again.
