Thanks very much to everyone for the suggestions. I've been
trying some
of the ideas on the list and here's where I am.
I tried the newer driver (1.05 instead of 1.03) same difference, loads,
scans, can't find anything.
I should point out that this is a *laptop* and that I sometimes use a
directly wired interface (shows up as eth0 as I would expect) and then
sometimes I pop that card out of the pcmcia slot and insert the
wireless.
Even after switching the modules.conf and adding this:
alias eth0 xirc2ps_cs
alias eth1 adm8211
The wireless card *always* shows up as eth0. I've rebooted with the
card inserted, and it's still showing up as eth0. Any idea *why* that
would be the case? Where could I look to resolve that?
Ah.. both your wired and wireless are pcmcia cards - and you use only
one - but not both at the same time?
In that case I would remove the aliases from /etc/modules.conf - and
have just one config - ifcfg-eth0 with the wireless settings (will
work for the wired card as well).
However - I'll make sure that the HWADDRESS is removed from this config
(this way the same settings work with both wired and wireless)
