Try adding an alias in modules.conf for the wifi card for a different interface than eth0?"David A.

I have Avaya APs, Orinoco RGs, and a mix of PCMCIA cards for clients. For Windoze clients, best thing is the USB client, but that won't work w/ Linux, you need a good PCI-PCMCIA bridge card for a desktop. All my cards show as eth#, but that's because I use the orinoco w/ hermes drivers. If you use other drivers you may get other devices (like wlan0). Have you checked for a new eth# device under RH?I have to manually add it each time, so it must not be recognizing it. I'll look in config under /etc/pcmcia for some, but what are good wavelan cards. I tried the compaq HNW-100 which is orinoco but it has issues when I try to activate it under RH8. The laptop is a compaq armada m700, pretty linux friendly for everything, incl. pcmcia cards, until now with SusE 8.x and RH 8. Under RH8 when the card is put in, it tries to override eth0, which is a built in e100 RJ45 port.
