Thanks Dave, I'll play with it some more tomorrow. The avahi-daemon is
killing me too, so I'm going to read up on that puppy too.
Looks like something like system-config-network puts the value in the
appropriate ifcfg script in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts:
[dave@spindle network-scripts]# cat ifcfg-eth1
# Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller
DEVICE=eth1
ONBOOT=no
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
HWADDR=00:90:4b:ac:8f:67
PEERDNS=yes
DHCP_HOSTNAME=spindle
TYPE=Wireless
USERCTL=yes
IPV6INIT=no
ESSID=pr3v3ct
CHANNEL=11
MODE=Auto # <== HERE
RATE=Auto
Although not documented in the man page, "auto" (as above) appears to
work. Setting my wireless to mode = auto just gets me "Managed" when I
then do an Iwconfig.
Cheers,
Dave
