I have a laptop which is working great with SuSe 6.3.  At home I have a cable
modem connected to a desktop computer and have successfully setup masquerading
so the laptop has internet access and at work i can connect to the university
network.  I have been looking for a way to automate the network setup at the
two locations, which doing manually seems to be more difficult than desirable
twice a day.  I found the "PCMCIA" Notebook in miscellaneous networks" entry in
the SuSE support database, and it looked likd an ideal solution except that
when I tried it, I could get no ethernet connection at all.  Ifconfig showed
only the lo local loopback entry.  I tried rcnetwork restart and
/sbin/init.d/route stop/start with no change. 

I'ld appreciate advice on getting the pcmcia scheme system to work, or any
other easy way of changing network settings.

Thanks,

Bernie Gardner
