Actually, more useful would be integrating it into a configuration
  profiles setup.  Move to a different location, change the network
  profile to reflect the setup you need at that location.  That would
  give you the persistence you're looking for.
Unfortunately, I don't know of anyone who's doing this (conf profiles).
  Anyone?  I was gonna work on that parallel to my cpu governor.
