+1 on the netcfg recommendation. It works pretty flawlessly for me.
I don't use it daily, as I prefer a GUI solution like knetworkmanager for desktop use, but I still use it frequently - i.e., when knetworkmanager is broken or flakey, or if I'm working from a command line only - and it's great.
Since I move my laptop frequently between workplace and home, I've bound a couple of keyboard shortcuts to run simple scripts like: ------------8<------------ netcfg2 -a netcfg2 <my_home_wifi_profile> ------------8<------------ netcfg2 -a netcfg2 <my_work_lan_profile> ------------8<------------ I'm too lazy to add notifications to them, but it can be done easily (e.g. with dzen2 or Xdialog).
