Hi,

I have just got a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop. I would like to use it with
different network configurations:

1) At work with Ethernet and NIS/YP, static IP
2) At home with WLAN and DHCP
3) Travelling using modem and DHCP
4) No network

Now all of this can be chosen manually after booting, but I'd like the
computer to figure out this itself and intialize the correct network
connection. Should be fairly easy as only one of the options 1-2 are
available at any given time. 3) and 4) are basically the same and 3) must
be started manually.

I have tried using the different profiles in the networking conf utility,
but it doesn't work as expected. Some of the problem is probably related to
the fact that I have to use NIS/YP at work.

This is working seamlessly in Windows.

I'd be grateful for any help!

Regards,
Ole Jacob
