I am quite happy with whereami. Here's what apt-cache has to tell about it: hdv@thor:~$ apt-cache show whereami Package: whereami Priority: extra Section: net Installed-Size: 396 Maintainer: Andrew McMillan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: all Version: 0.2.5 Depends: debconf (>= 1.2.9) Suggests: pcmcia-cs, fping, net-tools, iputils-arping, ifplugd Filename: pool/main/w/whereami/whereami_0.2.5_all.deb Size: 53210 MD5sum: 76ab0f14a44388fd945e65893b665ba3 Description: Automatically reconfigure your (laptop) system for a new location whereami is a set of useful scripts and a coordinating system for automatically re-locating your computer within the current (network) environment. . Typically, you would use whereami to automatically detect and re-configure your laptop when you move between a variety of diverse networks and/or docking environments. . Although whereami will work best if all of your networks assign addresses through dhcp, this is not a pre-requisite and the system allows any technique to be used to ascertain the new location with as little ongoing user intervention as possible. . Having ascertained the correct location, whereami will run appropriate (user-configured) scripts to adjust the laptop operation to suit the current environment. . See http://debiana.net/whereami/ for more information. You may also get useful assistance from the debian-laptop mailing list, which is frequented by several of the contributors.
