[lug] Wireless setup with FC 2, machine has builtin ethernet

[Elyse M. Grasso]

My current laptop has a builtin ethernet connector and can accept a PCMCIA 
wireless card. Previous laptops needed PCMCIA cards for both functions, so 
there was never a conflict. But this configuration does not seem to be 
connecting. 
How do I set it up so that if it doesn't find a cable and the wireless card is 
installed, it will try the wireless card? It seems to just stop after trying 
the ethernet adaptor. 

The drivers seem to be loading OK, and the RedhatNetwork widget says wlan0 is 
OK. When I tell the widget to activate the  wireless connection it flashes a 
box that may be an error message, too quickly to see what if anything is 
being said, and nothing else happens. Nothing seems to show up 
in /var/log/messages: is there anywhere else it might be going?

Do I need to re-order the init so that the network doesn't try to start until 
after PCMCIA  is up?
