  <description><![CDATA[IBM does this through their Thinkvantage Connection application. It detects my office, home, college library and department networks and reconfigures the default printer, website, network settings, firewalls, etc. I love it and can't do without it on my laptop. ]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[this one, I have to say, would be huge. My wife uses Ubuntu and Windows on her laptop, and switches back and forth often because the network at her work gives her fits. Sometimes she can get on the internet, but not always. Sometimes she can print, but not always. And it's rare that they all line up. Her boss has gone so far as to run an additional wifi access point into her office and she still has problems. I've been there and have witnessed virtually every combination of working and not-working network services in Windows, OS X, and Ubuntu. If there's some automagical procedure to nail the available services every time, that would be huge.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[I agree the thinkvantage connection manager is very nice.<br /><br />The ability to have different firewall rules, proxy settings, run extra scripts, default printer etc. etc. when changing locations is really needed.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[I have this problem also. I work in a place with a proxy serve r that must be configured manually and in my home connect through wireless.<br />I'm creating a bash script that finds the current IP and changes the proxy servers based on the profile I have already created for that network.<br />I would be very nice to have this already included with ubuntu .<br />Also would be nice to have the proxy settings configured to try to use proxy and, if it doesn't exists, try to connect directly.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[I find Network-Manager very helpful and almost great ;) but it lacks this part. So a good thing would be to pass this thread to Network-Manager developers because i think that they are so busy expanding Network-Manager's portability and driver's support that they don't have time to look at this formidable details. Better help them with this ideas to help them evolve than creating a new app from scratch. Just a thought :D ]]></description>
