I actually did get to ifupdown-roaming after trying guessnet. I liked guessnet's configuration simplicity but it only seemed to have only the one network detection method: ipaddr+macaddr. He also had the detection to configuration mapping up in the map section; I liked your method better (i.e. detection method with the configuration and where possible implied by it). I did see that you have a wireless detect mechanism, but haven't used it (I have wireless option but use it rarely: 100baseT has so much less latency). A wishlist item for you and/or Enrico: it would be nice to have a macaddr-only detection mechanism, as coming up on the wrong ip on a network can sometimes be disruptive to others (i.e. someone else already using the same ip addr). I'm not sure what mechanism would underlie such a thing, tho.
