While we're on the subject, and I apologize in advance for asking here, I've 
been fooling with the madwifi drivers for the Atheros chipset wireless 
cardbus and pcmcia cards.

This driver was ported from $BSD, and the company name _is_ Atheros, so it 
shows up in linux as ath0, not eth0.

This seems to throw all sorts of various startup scripts into states of 
confusion.

And old-time RedHat hax0r that I am, I tend to try the supplied gui tools to 
configure things and then check the config files to see what changed.  In 
this case, ath$ does not even show up as a possibility in 
redhatconfig-network.


Suggestions?




TIA
