They were all running, I had just turned on NetWorkManager without turning off 
network, didn't realize they shouldn't be run at the same time. However, even 
so, sometimes the ipw2200 card is still shown as __tmp1804289383, with the 
same behavior described in the previous e-mail. Is there any thing else I 
should try?

Yes, I use the knetworkmanager, which is the same. No problem in connecting to 
wireless networks when the card is correctly shown as eth1, but it halts for 
a while when getting the IP address from DHCP if the NIC is shown as 
__tmp1804289383 and then it stays off-line.
