Well, I was hoping for something that would be able to run some scripts or
such so that you configure your services etc. according to the network you
are connected to, would be neat to dynamically change the firewall-rules so
that when home for example you are more open and when in an "unknown" net
you'd be as closed as could be.
 

I thought dhclient could run scripts upon changes? Those could probably 
gather all the data required...

Or, for the Perl fans, you could parse syslog for information ;-)
