If you mean that you have static IP configurations for each
network you work on, schemes will help here. In the
/etc/pcmcia/network.opts file, you can set different
configurations and name them. Then, when you go to a different
network, change the scheme with
# cartctl scheme work (where 'work' is the name of a scheme)
and the config will change.
The section for the schemes will look like:
case "$ADDRESS" in
auto,*,*,*)
IF_PORT="auto"
# Use /sbin/pump for BOOTP/DHCP? [y/n]
DHCP="y"
;;
work,*,*,*)
IF_PORT="auto"
IPADDR="192.168.0.100"
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
NETWORK="192.168.0.0"
GATEWAY="192.168.0.1"
DOMAIN=
SEARCH=
NAMESERVER=
;;
esac
I'm not positive the last 3 entries above are accurate.
