Not so far as I have ever heard.  However, it depends how much configuration
you really need.

If everything you need is provided by DHCP, then merely installing ifplugd
will do the job.  It will take down your network interface when it loses a
connection & it will bring it back up when it detects a linkbeat.  When it
comes back up, DHCP will provide all the correct routing and DNS info.

For more complicated situations there are tools such as whereami, but they
don't have guis.
