How about: 1) "permanent connection exists"? 2) "transient network connection does not exist" 3) "transient network connection exists" I could see these all being options that you would want to support: 1) My computer is docked in my office 2) I am on a plane to the East Coast office 3) I am in the Eact Coast office with a WaveLAN/IR PCMCIA card installed to connect me to the lcoal net. Each of these are different "run levels". Obviously, the idel would be to autodetect and run variant configurations as necessary; however, practically, you are just moving the selection, not the fact that you want seperate run states.
