remove dupe wireless interface

amp_man · 03-30-2005, 08:59 PM

okay, this is slightly cross-posting, but with as many forums as there are hear, I know that not everyone reads every new post. My wireless adapter, a cisco aironet340, shows up twice under hoary, as both wifi0 and eth1. I need to remove one of these, but how do I do it? And which should I remove?

Code:

any help is appreciated. BTW, I need this to try and get it to work correctly with my home router...more info here. thanks!

it's not a duplicate, wifi0 is the management interface to the card, eth1 is the actual network interface

Ugh...I was SO hoping that was the problem too. Any suggestions on how to get the router and network card to cooperate? The wireless card works flawlessly at school, and under windows with my router, but once I boot up linux, it decides to slack off. There's more details in the other thread I linked to. Anything would be appreciated, I'm tired of the ugly yellow cord running from the back of the router to the laptop, not to mention being severely limited as to where I can go.
