Behold ye section "8.1.4 (Notebooks) Configurations for Changing -- Schemes" of the SuSE 7.3 System and Reference manual documents usage of the /etc/pcmcia/*.opts files, but nothing of any configuration tool.

I would think it could be adapted for non-PCMCIA features too.

Most of my home computers have SuSE, that being a static config, I've never played with this under SuSE.

Alas my laptop runs RH, so I would be greatly interested in finding the name of the tool ye spoke of.

On a similar note: if anyone knows a hack to prompt you at boot time for (D)HCP or (S)tatic config (and then allow me to select a pre-configured item, or key it in manually), I'd love to hear about that too.
