Please correct me if am wrong, ifup wlan0 is supposed to bring up the wireless card, but the error you're giving has eth1 in it. you could try iwconfig for wireless..
Could you please post your ifconfig here.

Your heading says:

So you try ifup eth1 if that's your NIC card or eth0, but we can determine that with the ifconfig results.

I'd sure like to help but I don't know what is going on.

"using rhel
was able to connect to wireless few days ago."

I'd say, what changed a few days ago? Some update, program addition? Motherboard issue, nic issue?

slowerogue 11-23-2012 03:18 AM

no, didnt changed anything at all
i using dualboot
my win7 windows update thats all
does it affect?

slowerogue 11-23-2012 03:30 AM

ok guys,i hv changed alot of setting since this problem
i have deleted wlan0,eth0 that in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices /profile

then recreated it with system-config-network,letting the system itself generate all the configuration of the wlan0
now the wlan is
Code:

# Please read /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt
# for the documentation of these parameters.
DEVICE=wlan0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
TYPE=Wireless
HWADDR=9c:b7:0d:7a:3a:3d
PEERDNS=yes
IPV6INIT=no
ONBOOT=no
USERCTL=no
ONBOOT=yes
NM_CONTROLLED=yes

the only thing i have changed in this configuration are
nm_controlled=no
type=wireless
thats it
the problem still presist

I Replace NIC with new one, then it is working fine for me

slowerogue 11-29-2012 12:08 AM

since i am able to connect using NM

another thing is,
using iwlist wlan0 scan, i cant get available AP , this is only happen when i first created wlan0 using system-config-netw
then i enable NM and scan/connected. then i disable NM again..now the wlan0 is able to scan using iwlist

pls help
