In my situation I take my laptop between multiple ethernets, and I can't
use DHCP because I'm unlucky.
So, what I did was add:
if [ -f /etc/pccard_location ] ; then
. /etc/pccard_location
fi
if [ "x$pccard_location" != "x" ] ; then
if [ -f /etc/rc.conf.extra.$pccard_location ] ; then
. /etc/rc.conf.extra.$pccard_location
fi
fi
to my pccard_ether right after it sucks in rc.conf.
Then I created /etc/rc.conf.extra.home (for example) with:
pccard_ifconfig="inet 10.0.0.2"
defaultrouter="10.0.0.1"
and a shell script that lets me just run "location home" and have
pccard_location="home" put into /etc/pccard_location. The same applies
for any number of locations.
Pretty simple modificatons; just FYI if anyone else was wanting to do the
same thing but hadn't bothered to.
Now, the next step would be to have a GPS that would automatically
determine the location it was in and config appropriately.
