[ILUG] Mobile network configuration

[Niall O Broin]

I find myself in a situation now where I'll regularly be using my notebook
in one of three locations viz. home and two work locations. In the two work
locations I'll need different network settings e.g. IP address, default
router, name servers etc. Is there any convenient existing way of automating
this ? I know it's relatively trivial to write a script to do it but I'd
sooner not re-invent the wheel. On my Powerbook, running either MacOS
classic or MacOS X I can just select Preferences->Network and my location
and everything is done INCLUDING proxy settings for browsers etc. but on the
Linux notebook it's currently the manual option. I know one option would be
to have DHCP setup in both work locations but that's not currently an option
although it may be in the not too distant future.
