As soon as I get DAM approval, I'll put my package intuitively into
debian.
Description: Automatic IP configuration detection for laptops
A utility to locate current network address via arp requests
and perform heavy reconfigurations based on its findings.
.
"intuitively" is intended for laptop users or people who use their
machines in different networks all the time. It is meant to be run
from the PCMCIA network initialization scripts or the command line.
Or you can use divine (which has a config file format which makes
/etc/printcap seem readable), which intuitively is based on.
If you can't wait for it to get into debian, then add
deb-src http://www.samfundet.no/~tfheen/debian potato main
to your sources list and apt-get install intuitively.
