I have an ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth1 that both use "DEVICE=eth0" and
"ONBOOT=no". One is configured with the static address I need on one
network, and the other is configured for DHCP. they are both set with
"USERCTL=yes", so I don't have to be root to bring them up. This works
well for me, as I do not bring up ether interface when I am portable,
and I bring up the right interface for the network I am connected to
when I am connected. (I also have a PPP interface set up for when I
use dialup...)
Maybe I'll get more creative one of these days, when I have time to
look into how Windows knows when the laptop is docked...
