Subject: [work] [ltp] ifupdown-roaming: Debian roaming network support


| I've prepared a Debian package that extends ifup and ifdown
| so that
|     * groups of interfaces can be controlled together,
|     * an appropriate interface configuration is automatically
|       selected for the current network environment, yet
|     * the detection sequence is manually controllable, and
|     * it's easy to set up.
| 
| ifupdown-roaming is designed to replace the netenv, switchconf,
| divine, intuitively, laptop-netconf, laptop-net and whereami
| packages.  The README file explains how to set up automatic
| network configuration on a Debian system with APM, PCMCIA and
| hotplug.
| 
| Try it out and let me know how well it works for you.  Sending
| feedback is important if you want this package to meet your
| needs.

Sounds great.  Hope somebody can package it for a RedHat system.
