I've been doing this on my laptop for years:
1. Wired or wireless at home
2. Wired at Northeastern University
3. Wireless at MIT
4. Wired at work.
On annoyance I do have is that on my wireless at MIT, both the wireless and 
wired interfaces come up. I generally, type 'ifdown eth0'.
I've been doing this since at least SuSE 9.0, and I use SCPM.
