[Casper] Network Settings on Standard Images

[Nicometo, Tim S.]

Hello all, I am wondering if someone has a proven, rock star, strategy for
creating base Leopard OS images for laptops vs. desktops in regards to
networking settings, Airport, modems, etc.

All of our desktop machines are connected via Ethernet and none use Airport,
nor any modems.  However, almost all of our laptops connect to the network
via Airport, and in some rare cases via modem.

Is it a safe bet to include all the Airport and modems settings on a base OS
image deployable to all platforms, even though the desktops will never use
these settings?  Or do we need to created separate images for laptops and
desktops.

Note, I thought about creating a Composer package just for laptop network
settings, however there were quite a few byhost files that were created in
the process, and to be honest, I am not sure how to handle those.

Thanks in advance for any help/information/strategies...
