I made all the scripts in /etc/ that setup my network simlinks to file owned by my user in a special conf dir. I set eth0 to be user controlled. I then have scripts called 'setlocaiton_home' and 'setlocation_work' that put the right files in the similnked special conf dir and then call ifdown eth0 ifup eth0 and the job is done. All without having to become root either.
