[FC3] What is if-up'ing my wireless NIC?

[Ian Pilcher]

I have a laptop with a built-in Cisco MPI350 (MiniPCI Aironet 350) wire-
less adapter (eth1).  Here is ifcfg-eth1:

   # Please read /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt
   # for the documentation of these parameters.
   IPV6INIT=no
   ONBOOT=no
   USERCTL=yes
   PEERDNS=yes
   GATEWAY=
   TYPE=Wireless
   DEVICE=eth1
   HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
   BOOTPROTO=dhcp
   NETMASK=
   DHCP_HOSTNAME=
   IPADDR=
   DOMAIN=
   ESSID=XXXXXXXX
   CHANNEL=1
   MODE=Managed
   RATE=auto
   IWCONFIG=commit

Note the "ONBOOT=no".  Despite this, the interface is activated every
time I boot Fedora Core 3.  (This didn't happen with FC2.)

The following services are turned on:  cpuspeed, anacron, syslog,
cups-config-daemon, readahead, ssd, microcode_ctl, atd, xinetd,
haldaemon, readahead_early, cups, apmd, crond, sysstat, pcmcia,
messagebus, network, iptables, xfs, kudzu, smartd, nscd.  AFAIK, none of
these daemons should be bringing up the interface.

Any ideas?  Thanks!
