Sort of magic script-hackery, no. I've got basically the same problem - one office network is configured with WAP on one SSID, with DHCP based addressing, whereas my home network uses WPA2 and a different SSID, with static IP addressing. It'd be nice if Ubuntu could let me configure this and have it go "Oh, I see ssid 'office', so I'll configure WEP and DHCP", or go "Oh, I see ssid 'home', i'll configure WPA and a static address". Whilst Linux wireless has come quite a long way, mobile connection management still sucks. Static network management in Linux is very good, but mobile has a long way to go. For now, I've still got to set wireless up semi-manually.
