Subject:Laptop address acquisition, static/dynamic, home/work

Got 2.2.7-STABLE running on a TP560x, with the free NeoMagic X11 server (non-accellerated) from some kind soul on the net. Nice combination.

I'm tired of manually changing the IP, name, defaultroute, and resolv.conf when I drag it between home (static IP) and work (corporate DHCP, I manually assign). I guess I could build a DHCP client for the laptop and set up DHCP at home, but was looking for a simpler solution.

Any thoughts? Perhaps DHCP client with a timeout in the init script which assigns the last address if it doesn't get a DHCP response? Or should I just bite the bullet and "do the right thing"?

Thanks.
