No need for tricks (as long as your lan card is PCMCIA). The pcmcia
manager recognizes SCHEME's which you can pass to it from Lilo.
For example, in my lilo.conf I have:
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda6
label = home
append = "SCHEME=home"
#
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda6
label = work
append = "SCHEME=work"
As you notice, both entries use the same kernel and the only difference is
the SCHEME name passed.
Then in your /etc/pcmcia/network.opts you can add additional entries
corresponding to the SCHEME names:
case "$ADDRESS" in
work,*,*,*)
...
;;
home,*,*,*)
...
;;
Etc.
Each entry in this case can be set to have different IPs (either static or
DHCP), nfs mounts, default gateways, name servers, etc.
If you take a look in the network.opts file and the comments in it, you
will figure it out.
I hope this helps.

Hi Susers,
I am running with laptop in two networks. In one I use static IP configuration and the other it's dynamic.
I have to change manually (ifconfig, route, resolve.conf,...)
Do you have any clever script to quickly switch between dynamic and static?
