network configuration panel it give this error
3c501 device eth1 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.
please suggest that how to proceed to troubleshoot the problem
Thanks

I think I should also mention that wireless switch on my laptop is not
working, as its work in windows. I can not on wireless switch

Hi,
The 3945 have to have the 3945 deamon running.  (I didn't write it, Intel did).
Double check to make sure it is turned on during startup.

/sbin/chkconfig --list ipw3945d

If it isn't even installed, then you need to install it

  yum install ipw3945d

If it is installed, but not turned on, then you need to turn it on

  /sbin/chkconfig --level 345 ipw3945d on

And I have always found that it works best with NetworkManager, instead of setting it up by hand.
