It looks as if I could do it if one of the init.d scripts sniffed out the PCMCIA to see if there where activity, then if there was not it would start daild instead of DHCP. I have no idea where to begin on such a thing though. Any thoughts?

Well I sort of do this allready I have a laptop that has the Potato distro on it, I use both ethernet and ppp,
I am using the DHCP client in potato and it works great; if there is no ethernet connection, then no IP is assigned
to the eth0 interface, essentially no route. I just use PPP normaly.
