David,
Key question is how do I configure network connections with NetworkManager
from the command line?
Thanks, Allen

This is for an old laptop that uses the ipw2200 wifi driver.
It assigns the wifi to eth1.
eth0 for wired Ethernet is active okay, and I want eth1 active at the
same time.
ifup eth1 seems to only allow WEP keys successfully.
NetworkManager never seems to connect at run level 3 using WPA for any
configuration that I can figure out. nm-tool does show WPA should be
possible.
Hi Allen,
If you already have configured the network connections using
NetworkManager, it should be fairly possible to start the wireless
network using 'nmcli'. That's a command line tool for Network Manager.
You most likely need to play around with 'nmcli con'. F.ex. I have a
wirelss config called 'home'. So to connect from the command line, I do
this:
[user@host:~] $ nmcli con up id home
I'll admit, it's a long time since I played with EL5, so it might not be
fully supported. But on EL6 and newer, this is possible.
