Since you are already using /etc/network/interfaces take a look at man ifup Especially see "ifup eth0=home" On my laptop, the analogue is ifup eth1=home because the wireless interface is eth1. The next suggestion I have *not* tested, but it is also in man ifup -i FILE, --interfaces=FILE Read interface definitions from FILE instead of from /etc/net- work/interfaces. If this means what it seems to mean, you can write a different file for each of your configurations, and start ifup with the i option. ifup is part of the package (in stable) ifupdown. See also man ifdown. -- Hugh Lawson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
