I voted for this bug but really wish I could add a consistant problem..
the box steadfast refuses to use anything but eth0. Changes to
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 don't have any affect on
either my wireless NIC (NetGear MA401) or my D-Link 670 wired NIC.
During install even with the card inserted from the moment the box does
not recognize the card.
Once rebooted if the card is inserted I get one of the following.
Card is recognized 2 beeps ... but any attempt to configure it corrupts
most of the related files (modules.conf modules ifcfg-eth0 network to
name a few.)
Card is insterted but not recognized. (beep bonk)
1. It claims my RAM is bad. (bench tested Micron Ram it's good)
2. It claims it can't find the Mac Address
3. It claims that the card isn't responding.
4. It complains about an MII error.
5. It complains that the card isn't a recognized card type.
(all the above seen in /var/log/messages.)
Choose your error it gives them randomly but always the same one
until the next reboot, which is immediate since it usually hard locks no
keyboard or mouse no ssh.
Sometimes on rare occasion I insert the card and it just starts
working. If I attempt to configure it.. change any setting or any other
such action it corrupts all the above mentioned files and more...
and won't run again.
I've yet to figure out where config settings are held ifcfg-eth0
wireless.opts and ifup-wireless all don't seem to affect how it works.
I can't for the life of me get it to work on a wep system. And IF and
when it comes up.. there is no way to move networks...
BTW same card same laptop if I change to a win98 drive... it works like
a charm. Profiles/wep/etc etc. Problem is, win98 is about as useful as
a fashion designer at a nudist colony.

The Prism II support appears to be in the machine, but attempts to load the same
get greeted with missing symbol reports. The Orinoco driver doesn't seem to
work right; it will link to the AP, but sticks to 2Mb and won't carry traffic (I
have two different Orinoco based cards- both work FINE under Windows. You know
how disappointing THAT is...).
