You are right, the integration with ifupdown is not yet perfect, and there isn't good support for using network mappings; it is on the todo list. I use ipconfig calls from within whereami.conf for the network where an ip address is not assigned automatically: +home ifconfig eth0 192.168.10.7 +home route del default +home route add default gw 192.168.10.1 Chris
