Howto configure multiple MAC address with one ip-address (not at the same time) ???

Hello,
I'm trying to configure my dhcpd server to issue my
laptop with the same ipaddress, irrespective of
whether I connect via wired or wireless connection,
hence different MAC addresses (clearly not at the same
time).
Using the the fixed address section in the dhcpd.conf
like this:
host laptop {
hardware ethernet 00:14:85:2D:E0:2F;
fixed-address 192.168.1.19;
}
and
host laptop {
hardware ethernet 00:11:25:D6:EE:91;
fixed-address 192.168.1.19;
}
When starting the daemon, it barfs, line xx laptop
already exists, I've tried combining the assignments
into just one assignment in the config file, like
this.
host laptop {
hardware ethernet 00:11:25:D6:EE:91;
hardware ethernet 00:14:85:2D:E0:2F;
fixed-address 192.168.1.19;
}
This didn't work.
I appreciate, I could set a fixed address on the
laptop, but I'd be forever updating it as I connected
my laptop to many different networks thru out a week.
Is there a fix, or way round this, I would suspect
this is a perfectly reasonable thing to want to do?
Thanks
Andy
