Hmmm...when I cat /proc/net/wireless, I get
Inter-| sta-| Quality | Discarded packets
face | tus | link level noise | nwid crypt misc
But just for giggles, I went ahead and created the ifcfg-eth1 file as
you did, but just like with the ifcfg-airport file, I get
Bringing up interface eth1: Delaying eth1 initialization.
[FAILED]
So naturally, still it doesn't work. Drat!
Any other suggestions are welcome. I'm sure there's a simple way to do
this, I just don't know what it is!
Thanks,
David
