On my system it appears that even at boot time, the eth1 init corresponding to the wireless lan fails. The error is exactly the same at that point.
Here is some information about my system...

Regarding iwconfig result, I would say my wireless card is OFF... Could it be simply that ?? (I already tried to use rfswitch but unsuccessfully...)
How can I check ??
One last thing, I tried the ethernet cable connection and it worked fine... so no network issue. Also, the WLAN works fine when using Windows XP, so my card is ok.
