There are at least two ways of doing it.  The first is the PCMCIA
scheme support.  Check the PCMCIA-howto for info.

The Redhat way is to define two setups for the same interface, and
use usernet to switch between them.  I know how to do it on netconf,
but it was a little less obvious on linuxconf (but doable).  

My way was simply to setup DHCP at home and convince work to do the
same.
