whereami works but it is harder to configure than ifscout
and (more seriousl) is incompatible with ifupdown, the
standard network-interface management package.

Yes.
Please note that the features of ifscout are in the process
of being integrated into guessnet by the intrepid Enrico
Zini. The work is not yet complete; the guessnet release in
sid (0.21) is broken and lacks some important features.
However, once the work is done, guessnet will work like
ifscout, only faster. :)
