Re: network profile

FYI, the file you're looking for is called /etc/network-profiles/template, and it is provided by the initscripts package.

Re: network profile

Hi,

i have a also a question to this topic

Is it possible to give a certain network profile a program to start with upon activation. Like openvpn for example or can i only use the predefined variables in that file?

I'm looking for a way to start a certain vpn connection for each network profile.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think brain0's autowifi scripts have the option of running a specific command after connecting to/disconnecting from a particular network.  This might be what you're looking for.... More info here:  http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=33679
