Hi everybody. I have a laptop with these network devices:
Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (wlan0)
Realtek RTL8168/8111 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (eth0)
I've installed (for first time ) Arch using eth0 network interface and now I want to configure properly the network interfaces. I use the laptop in lot of places and I need both wired conection (eth0) and several wireless profiles: wlan0 at my home, wlan0 at my girlfriends home, wlan0 at my work office, etc. Always using dhcp.
The main network interface would be my wlan0 at home.
How should I set up? Using /etc/rc.conf or using netcfg? If I use netcfg I have to clean my /etc/rc.conf network configuration? By now I have it on this way:
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth0)
#NETWORKS=(main)
Also, at this moment, i haven't created /etc/modprobe.conf file (with both alias for eth0 and wlan0)
Thanks if someone could help me
Cheers

I'm using this http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wicd and it works pretty good (lan @ home, wlan @ home , wlan @ work)

I have been using netcfg with success (without changing my rc.conf).

i just want to second etsi. if you are using any graphical enviroment, wicd is really good, when you are not too keen on doing everything manually with netcfg.
