I have found that SCPM is a very effective tool. In my situation, I have a number of different needs: Wired DHCP with HTTP proxies set up for work Wired DHCP For teaching at a local university. Wireless unsecured - For MIT at the BLU meetings, installfests, and traveling. Wireless secured - For home. Wired static IP.
With SCPM profiles set up, it is simple to bring up my system in the different network environments. The wireless environments should also have the wired interface (eth0) turned off otherwise the routing loses its default route.
The only problem I have had with SuSE 10 and SCPM is that the profile boot parameter does not appear to work, but I have not checked it closely enough to see if I have everything kosher.
And with NetworkManager all you do is click on an icon in the system tray and select a different network, bada boom, bada bing, done. No logging out, no reboot involved. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
