When my laptop is in the docking station it has an External Monitor, a USB optical mouse,
and an extra NIC that should be used.
When it is not in the docking station it has the onboard touchpad (PS/2) mouse, an LCD display and
uses the onboard NIC?


In the past I have hacked together my own rc.sysinit script to check the lspci for the prescense of the
docking station NIC and if it is found then it swaps XF86Config, sysconfig/mouse and ifcfg-eth? files
around, and if the docking station NIC is not found then it swaps those files the other way around.


Does RedHat have a "standard" way of configuring a system to recognize at boottime whether
a laptop is docked or not and thereby change the X Display config, the mouse, and the Network interfaces?
Or is it considered normal to just hack your sysinit script for that?


Also, is there a way to tell Kudzu to ignore certain hardware config changes that occur all the time
with a laptop like this?


Thanks in advance,
-Ben.
