i don't know if this really addresses your situation, but my laptop
continually moves between home and office. at the office, my pcmcia card
is a standard 3com ethernet adapter. at home, i use a proxim symphony
wireless card. pcmcia-cs handles everything for me. i just plug in the
card, fire up the box, and i'm good to go.
