My wireless device, according to Network Configuration is eth0. I find that weird; in prior distros wireless devices where labeled wlan0, wlan1, etc. The scan did pick up something for wifi0 and eth0. Does that mean that they are conflicting in some way? Overall; it looks like NetworkManager isn't playing nice with my wireless card and I'll have to do manual scans and configuring in order to get it to work? -- Marc F.
