Red face unable to connect to my wireless eth1, yes using my ethernet eth0


Hi everybody, any suggestion highly appreciated

I am running Fedora 2.9 in my laptop DELL Latitude D810.
I have configured eth0 using DHCP with addr submitted by provider and it worked ok, it is the one I am using now.

Using system->network, I see that my laptop recognizes eth0 as ethernet connection with the correct ethernet address, and eth1 as wireless connection also with its correct ethernet address.

I have configure eth1 with the name of the wireless router (Lynksys Wireless B Broadband router) and the correct encryption key.

If I use ifconfig it sees both eth0 and eth1 as ethernet connections and during booting looks for the wire for eth1, since it does not have any being wireless it gives me an error.

Thanks for help.

First you must ask a question.

What you described looks ok, except I dont't know what do you mean by "booting looks for the wire for eth1".

During booting list eth1 as an ethernet connection and it looks for the wire, since is a wireless it does not have it and gives an error.
