If you peruse the pcmcia-howto that Hinds wrote for the pcmcia-cs package, he mentions how to setup lilo to boot with different append statements which launch different network setups. I have not done this in awhile but I did do it before. I basically created two schemes in /etc/pcmcia/network.opts called "home" and "work" with different network setups like dhcp or static IP addresses. I then added this to my lilo.conf.
