Hi,

I am wondering if it is at all possible to have multipule lan configurations 
on the same laptop, depending on what card is inserted in which pcmcia slot.

I have a Lucent WaveLan card that I would like to configure for home in the 
top slot - on a residential gateway, if inserted in the bottom slot 
reconfigure for an accesspoint, both DHCP. If I insert a 3com 16 bit card yat 
another configuration but this time static network address and such.

I figure that this will require some hacking of the network setup scripts, but 
I am not sure what would be the best way to approach, or even if it is 
possible to get the slot a card is inserted into. I have been looking at 
rc.network, pccard.conf and start_if.wi0 but I cannot see how I would get the 
slot information as nothing appears to use this information.

I want to do this so I can take my laptop from home to work and to friends 
with out having to spend hours reconfigureing for each location.

Thanks for your time.

Please feel free to tell me that what I want to do is stupid, i just figured 
it would make my life simpler once it was configured.

David.
