You could use schemes. If you peruse the pcmcia-howto that Hinds wrote
for the pcmcia-cs package, he mentions how to setup lilo to boot with
different append statements which launch different network setups. I
have not done this in awhile but I did do it before. I basically
created two schemes in /etc/pcmcia/network.opts called "home" and "work"
with different network setups like dhcp or static IP addresses. I then
added this to my lilo.conf.
Here is the relevant section in the html version of the PCMCIA howto.
