I have a hacked version of the ISC DHCP client that I use to do this for my laptop. Currently it will "fallback" to the previous config if it gets no DHCP response. It would be trivial to have a bootup menu that would allow one to select DHCP vs a list of canned configs at boot up. I run the ISC DHCP server at home as well .. - Frank >Cc: freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG >Organization: HCS Hanseatischer Computerservice GmbH > >>From the keyboard of Chris Shenton: > >> 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).
