whereami is called from /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/whereami, and it

still controlled by /etc/network/interfaces.
do i need to use mapping in this file, should i call ifup with
a mapped name from whereami.conf, should i call ifconfig from there,
or am i doing something completely wrong?
You are right, the integration with ifupdown is not yet perfect, and there
isn't good support for using network mappings; it is on the todo list. I
use ipconfig calls from within whereami.conf for the network where an ip
address is not assigned automatically:
+home ifconfig eth0 192.168.10.7
+home route del default
+home route add default gw 192.168.10.1
