Linksys WUSB11 ver 2.6 on Redhat 9

I finally got my WUSB11 drivers working, but a couple of issues.
- The WUSB takes over the alias of  my network card (eth0). I tried 
editing the modules.conf but get driver errors.
per the the howto I tried
 # ethernet card
alias eth0 natsemi
# wireless usb device
alias eth1 usbvnet             in modules.conf
cannnot find wireless adapter at eth1
get unresolved variables in usbvnetr.o
It still shows up with my wireless at eth0.
I can connect through eth0

- When I do connect using dhclient to obtain an IP address, if I try and 
logout of the Gnome desktop, it locks up. KDE desktop works fine. 
Confused about that one.

Any takers?!

Thanks in advance.
