You need to change the content of

/etc/network/interfaces

http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-networking-configuration-using-command-line.html

using a bash script https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Beginners/BashScripting

Then try to call the script from /etc/rc.local startup file

You might also want to disable the startup of network-manager service

The simplest solution is to made two files into a directory:

netstatic and netdhcp put the settings you want into the netstatic and into netdhcp file and then copy the desired file overwriting the /etc/network/interfaces file and from same script restart the network
