is the device aliased to the ipw2200 module?

i.e.  (/etc/modules.conf or /etc/modprobe.conf )
alias eth0 ipw2200



or you might want to preload the module ahead
of those listed at /etc/modprobe.conf by invoking
the command:

shell> mkinitrd --preload=ipw2200  ........


which creates a ramdisk image w/ a preloaded
ipw2200 driver module.

Then came the big disappointment: after rebooting, wireless networking
would not work again.  The /etc/init.d/network script fails.  I suspect
that
/etc/init.d/network is called before the ipw2200 driver could be loaded.
So I did the unforgiveable, and added the following lines to the beginning
of /etc/init.d/network

if [ "$(lsmod | grep ipw2200)" = "" ]; then
  modprobe ipw2200
fi

This makes sure that the ipw2200 driver is loaded before "ifconfig eth1"
is performed.

Is there a better way of doing this?
