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).

Cheers,
