I was under the impression that when you set up a wireless lan nic it was
assigned a device name of wlan something. Indeed on my desktop I have
a wireless lan card and the wireless lan device is wlan0, the wired nic card
is eth0. But on my laptop eth0 is the wired device and eth1 is the wlan
device, It appears that the nic management tool is trying to handle the
ethernet device as though it was a wireless nic. I just disregard the wireless
stuff for it, but it is not logical to step through a bunch of wireless params
for a wired nic. What is involved in changing eth1 to wlan0? so that it is
more like what I am used to with other wireless card installs? Not sure
why the system has set it's self up this way. I am using SuSE 10.1,
but it was like that with 10.0 too.
