No, you should use another network number, e.g. 192.168.101.1

You should swap the internal and ADSL interfaces so eth0 is internal.
There should be no need for "swapped" configuration in 4.1.2 and later.

No, use another network number 192.168.101.1 and add it to the "Local
Networks" panel. Everything should then just work.
You then need /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2:
DEVICE=eth2
USERCTL=no
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
IPADDR=192.168.101.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.101.0
BROADCAST=192.168.101.255
And Dan York and I have both found that wireless.opts doesn't work as it
should. I have created /etc/init.d/wavelan and linked it to
/etc/rc7.d/S46wavelan, containing:
#!/bin/sh
/sbin/iwconfig eth2 mode managed \
essid "<somestring>" \
nick "<hostname>" \
key s:<someotherstring> \
rate 11M
Finally, you need an /etc/rc7.d/S45pcmcia -> ../init.d/pcmcia to make
the card start on bootup.

This needs to be rolled into an RPM and a manager panel. Anyone want
to take that one on?
