I am wondering if there is a very simple way to configure separate wireless network settings for each wireless network without using locations. Just like the iPod touch / iPhone does it, except OS X tends to use the same configuration for every wireless network unless I switch to a different location. This is inconvenient because at home I want to have a manually-assigned IP for port forwarding and such, and when I'm at school, the IP has to be assigned using DHCP for it to work. Right now I am using NetworkLocation, however it doesn't switch quickly and I find it is better for changing other settings (sleep password, turning bluetooth on, dimming screen, etc.) once I change the location.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
