Hi all,

I like the higher-level concept of zones in shorewall, however, on
portable devices, defining a zone just by an interface seems somewhat
limited.
I use my notebook at home, at work, in public places / conferences and
on the road using my mobile phone as access point.
I would like to apply different rules on all these networks (zones).
I use both interfaces (eth0, wlan0, but never at the same time) at
home and at work.
Connections at public places and direct internet connection via my
mobile phone are always on wlan0.

Basically, what interface I use doesn't matter to me, what matters is
what network I connect to (never multiple networks at once).
Is there a way to use other data to detect what zone we're in?
Looking at the essid for the currently connected access point, or at
the mac address of the dhcp server, or at the presence of certain
other machines in the network are possible candidates I think.
Is there anything in place to do this?

Thanks,
Mathijs
