Any plans for more dynamic networking?

    I use wired ethernet at work (because the wireless there kinda sucks), and wireless at home. The problem is that I have to completely shut down my VM and restart to get networking to work.

    Are there any plans to put some kind of networking in place where Parallels can switch between wired and wireless? I'm not sure how you'd accomplish this, because the Windows network adapter's MAC address is rather fixed. Perhaps you could have two network adapters in Windows (one for wired, one for wireless) active simulataneously or something, and have Parallels give the drivers a kick when the VM is unsuspended.

    I'm going to see if I can find a workable solution with host-only networking and NAT, but I will still have to switch my NAT connection between the two. Perhaps if I browse around developer.apple.com long enough I'll find a way to run a script when the computer's networking configuration changes...
