If you can't use DHCP, you might at least be able to draw inspiration from it. Check out /sbin/dhclient-script and its handling of the TIMEOUT "reason." It finds out if it is on the net it thinks it is by pinging the presumed default router. It should be possible to use that effect in a script called from pccard.conf on connection. It should be able to decide what net you are connected to and configure your machine appropriately. -- M/S 258-5 | 1024-bit PGP fingerprint: | tweten@nas.nasa.gov NASA Ames Research Center | 41 B0 89 0A 8F 94 6C 59 | (650) 604-4416 Moffett Field, CA 94035-1000 | 7C 80 10 20 25 C7 2F E6 | FAX: (650) 604-4377 We each earn what freedom of speech we defend for those who most offend us.
