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.

yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update initscripts.  Then reboot.

You should not need the /etc/iftab file I described before.

Thanks very much for your help, that did solve the problem.
I think that this other one has probably nothing to do with the
initscripts, but I still get the __tmp1804289383 device when I wake up
the notebook from suspend to RAM. Do you know if there's a way to get the
wireless NIC working without rebooting after suspending?

I'm not seeing this problem (at least not to date).

Do you have HWADDR lines in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth*?
If not, open system-config-network, select each interface and edit it,
select the Hardware tab on the pop-up window, click Probe, then close that
window and save the results.

Let us know if that helps.

The problem still shows when waking up from suspend, even with the HWADDR
binding.
But worse than this is that it still happens sometimes when the computer is
booted, even with the new initscripts. It seems that if I use the notebook in
a place where there's no wireless network available, the NIC is shown as
__tmp1804289383 the next time I boot it in a place where there is a wireless
network I can connect. Then I restart the computer and it shows up as eth1
again and works. I little inconvenient, though.

Thanks.
