I've used NetSwitcher with my laptop and it works great.  You really don't need
multiple network cards, and NetSwitcher also takes care of domains/workgroups,
DNS servers, WINS servers, etc.  You definitely don't need to reboot with
Win2k, and you don't really need to with 9x.  I've found that whenever you
change any network settings and windows asks you to reboot, just say no, then
pop the PCMCIA card in and out.  Works every time.

So, NetSwitcher is definitely the way to go.
