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.
