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.
