Hi Soren,
I'm happy to help with setup of whereami (I'm the maintainer).
I use it myself in an environment where I get my WLAN connection through
a PCMCIA card, but with other LANs I normally connect with the built-in
card.
'ifplugd' integrates with whereami automatically to reconfigure when you
plug the cable in.
Regards,
Andrew.
