38 Thanks, That was it! I used to have eth0 and eth1 (ethernet and
39 wireless) Now I have eth1 and eth2!

41 I need to go through all the docs to really understand how to deal with
42 networking. Does anybody have any good suggestions as to how to set up a
43 gui to deal with networking? I would like to achieve the following:
44
45 Let the users monitor all the network interfaces
46 Scan for and connect to various wireless access points
47 turn on/off the radio card when not in use
48
49 Thanks again!
