You could also try using 'intuitively', which is a similar package. It is
what I'm using to configure my laptop automatically for home or work, but
in both cases I have a static IP address, so I don't know about configuring
dhcp at all (although I would like to set that up at some stage).
Intuitively can determine where it is by trying to contact prespecified IP
addresses and (optionally) seeing what their MAC address is. Intuitively
is pretty flexible, and seems pretty nice.
