If it's only firefox you're worried about there is a proxy switching extension. I use an /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/ script at the moment which changes a few things based on the $new_network_number variable. The annoying thing is network-manager doesn't run dhclient as root, so I can't use it. Since my existing setup works, I've left it. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
