description:
I have a wireless network card for my laptop. I didn't not install it from the
installation but waited until the OS came up before configuring it.
Launched MCC, selected network wizard. This successfully detected my card and
my modem. I selected to configure my wireless card. The wireless configuration
screen was displayed. I entered my details for ESSID and WEP Key (As an aside
why doesn't it display the two format types that the key can be entered in - a
new person will wonder why they can't configure the card correctly if they enter
the key as a string instead of a hex sequence). The wizard does it's
configuration and the network can be seen, the finish wizard page is shown.
When you press the finish button it overwrites
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifet0-cfg file with one which does not contain
the wireless information. Hence, when it goes back to main network menu the
network fails as it issues a restart along the way.
The frig is to copy the ifeth0-cfg file before pressing the finish button, and
then copy it back after closing MCC, and then re-issue the ifup eth0
