I installed a couple packages on my Debian system...  laptop-mode-tool
and laptop-netconf, which I believe can work together to make this kind
of thing easy to manage.  I figure you ought to be able to find them for
your system.  I've gotten used to running dhclient on the command line,
so I don't bother configuring the networking part of it and can't offer
more help than this.  hope that helps a little.
