I'm not quite a newbie, but I'm not a hardware, driver or kernel geek. I don't know how to blacklist a kernel mod, nor which kernel mods if any I should blacklist in any case. I've been trying to get this to work for a while, following several different step-by-step instruction sets, so I may have got myself painted into a corner. I would rather not have to reinstall.

As root, I ran system-config-network.
Under the Devices tab, there's a device, Profile is checked, Status is Inactive, Device is eth1, Nickname is eth1, Type is Wireless. The "Activate" button at the top is grey.
Under the Hardware tab, theres 2 entries, one "Broadcom Corporation | Wireless | eth1 | system" the other is my wired "Atheros Comm. | Ethernet | eth0 | system"
I deleted the Broadcom hardware, then went back to the Devices tab and clicked the "New" button.
* Under "Select Device Type" I chose "Wireless connection" and click "Forward".
* Under "Select Wireless Device," I saw Broadcom Corporation BCM43225 802.11b/g/n (eth1). I selected it and clicked "Forward."
* Under "Configure Wireless Connection," I chose Mode: Managed, SSID: coblefamily key: *****
* Under Configure Network Settings, I left "Automatically... dhcp" clicked and clicked "Forward."
Then I saw the summary page, "Create Wireless Device" everything looked fine.
I clicked "Apply"
Then I clicked "Activate" and I got this message:
Code:
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
SET failed on device eth1 ; Invalid argument.
Determining IP information for eth1.../etc/init.d/functions: line 51: /dev/stderr: Permission denied
/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions: line 51: /dev/stderr: Permission denied
I sure would appreciate any help or insight anyone can offer.
Any ideas?
