netenv is a very misleading program: the menu you get just chooses
which of the configuration files gets copied to /etc/netenv/netenv. A
netenv-configuration looks like this:

# Networkenvironment: netask
export IPADDR=10.0.3.6
export NETWORK=10.0.0.0
export NETMASK=255.255.0.0
export BROADCAST=10.0.255.255
export GATEWAY=10.0.0.1
export PROFILE=LinuxTag-Stand

Thus, you "just" have to source /etc/netenv/netenv into your own
scripts and set everything on your own ;-)

You should change to annother network-chooser depending on your
network environment and your scripting skills. I've given a talk on
LinuxTag about all (8!) packages I found for changing networks, the
slides can be found on

   http://people.debian.org/~thimo/LT2002/

as vortrag.pdf.bz2 and vortrag.ps.bz2. The slides are in english and
maybe not be very useful as such. I plan to create an overview table
when I get the time for it...
