This reply is a comment regarding the "duplicate" bug 647, and it's relevance to
this bug.

I vote that wireless.opts not be removed from the rpms. Rather, I'd prefer to
see Mandrake adopt the wireless-tools method of initializing wireless pcmcia
cards, much like debian, suse and other linux's have done. The redhat init
scripts aren't as flexible in this matter.

Just my 2cents.

Because I can't find previous reports of this fairly well-known "problem", I'm
submitting this to bugzilla.

With the current RedHat/Mandrake wireless init scripts, cardctl scheme'ing DOES
NOT WORK, since wireless.opts is not parsed. This makes it impossible to quickly
change between wep/non-wep networks via the console without manually editing the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file each time you change networks.

More information is available from the wireless-tools maintainer:
