Is Manual Network Setting possible in 8.10?

Asked by pelagic

Currently I got two network settings that I activate by using two different files as /etc/network/interfaces.

::::::::::::::
/etc/network/interfaces__WORK__
::::::::::::::
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth2 inet dhcp
auto eth2

::::::::::::::
/etc/network/interfaces__HOME__
::::::::::::::
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.1.50
network 192.168.1.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
broadcast 192.168.1.255
wireless-essid ghost_dog

Combined with two files for /etc/resolv.conf this works perfectly.

I'm now concerned about the possibility to use this setup with 8.10. I hear that network configuration has been modified quite a bit. Can anybody confirm that the config-file solution will still be usable? Or is there a new possibility that can be automated somehow?
