In kdepim a kded module for online/offline support is being developed, for 
KDE4 that should move to kdelibs. Your operating system (aka distribution) 
will then be able to inform it about the connection status of the various 
networks and applications can query this kded module.

The machine's IP-number to use for a certain network could be part of that as 
well ( as a property of the network )

Cheers,
Waldo
