Ah.. both your wired and wireless are pcmcia cards - and you use only one - but not both at the same time? In that case I would remove the aliases from /etc/modules.conf - and have just one config - ifcfg-eth0 with the wireless settings (will work for the wired card as well). However - I'll make sure that the HWADDRESS is removed from this config (this way the same settings work with both wired and wireless) Satish
