I think I may have seen this covered somewhere on this list but can't find the thread; I have a network at the office and want to use one setup; at home I want to use a modem and also be able to access locally-running web pages under apache, I gues using my own machine as the name server. Can someone point me in the right direction to setting up different profiles I can use for this? Thanks! Nick

If you get any private replies, can you forward them to me (or the list)? I have network at work and one at home and I'm fed up of having to change IP, routing, etc in Yast on my laptop every time I arrive at or leave the office... -- 11:14am up 1 day, 3:30, 1 user, load average: 0.05, 0.04, 0.00

For different PCMCIA settings, the PCMCIA system used to have something called "schemes" which you could select using the cardctl program: cardctl scheme <scheme-name>. The schemes were set up in the /etc/pcmcia/network.opts file. However, that may all be obsolete in 8.0 with the new hotplug system. Not sure. There was also a previous post about a program called netenv that lets you select your network settings at boot time. It's at: http://netenv.sourceforge.net/ I've never used it so I can't comment on how well it works. Best Regards, Keith -- LPIC-2, MCSE, N+ Will we all fight for the right to be free? Got spam?

I used this for a while under 7.0 or 7.1 and it worked well. When I upgraded to 7.3 it stopped working but as I also stopped moving around so much it became less of an issue. I think that between 7.1 and 7.3 something changed - there was a setting, something like 'use PCMCIA' that had to be set in YaST2. Regards, Jethro

Hi, I would suggest trying netenv. When you boot up, a menu comes up before the IP address is set by the system. This allows you to configure the IP address and other routing details, also you can run other configuration alterations via scripts before continuing the boot process. It is implemented as a bash script. I have not installed it as yet with SuSE 8.0 so i don't know if there are any problems with the new SuSE configuration. I will probably look into installing it this weekend on my laptop. http://netenv.sourceforge.net/ Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
Personally I use schemes, and it works pretty fine on my laptop with SuSE 7.3 Some lacks on routing, but it's do the jobs for me. HTH Regards.
