| ...among other things.  I'm going to make ether address the last resort.
| the problem is that with the same ether address you can at different times
| (or at least I do) connect to very different networks.

The nicest things about Apple's OSX is the "location" menu.  You tell
your laptop where you are, and it sets up the network accordingly.
Some locations use ethernet, others the modem, still others airport;
some could use more than one, so they search in a given order.  It uses
DHCP or static information, as requested for that location.
