rc.conf and /etc/rc.d/network must be reworked to support
profiles. Something like this:
profile "home" { eth0="dhcp" gateway="stuff" } profile "work" { eth1="some wireless stuff" gateway="other stuff" } And on boot, might be an idea to ask the user like this: Please select your networking profile: 1. Home 2. Work and then the user must press 1 or 2. If the user won't respond in 3-5 seconds, pick the first one. Well, it's a bit hacky I know, but it's needed... People move laptops from home to work to friends all the time these days... |
