I am comoning to this late, so I don't know if this is FC5 or FC6.
One thing you can try is:

install eth1 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ipw3945 ; sleep .5 ;
/sbin/ipw3945d --quiet ; sleep .5

For some reason this worked, while using "alias eth1 ipw3945"
didn't. One of these days I may look into why that is.
