FC3: Wifi Uninstalled/re-installed after each boot

I had FC3 ethernet/wireless working on my Sharp MM20 until I started
playing with home/work profiles. I'm not sure what I changed to break
things, but now everytime I boot kudzu tells me that my wireless "card"
is gone, and a new one has appeared. Even if I let kudzu uninstall and
re-install, the next time I boot the same thing will happen. Likewise
if I tell kudzu to ignore the changes.
In /etc/modprobe.conf I can see that eth0 and eth1 are both configured
to use the 8139too Ethernet driver and a new eth2 is now aliased to the
prism54 driver. Previously eth1 was the wifi. If I fix this by hand,
nothing works anymore.
I imagine the first step to getting this under control is to get kudzo
to recognize that I am not swapping wifi cards between boots. (There is
no card - wifi is built in.)
Can I "Wipe the slate clean" with regards to installed hardware without
doing a complete reinstall?
Can anyone suggest what I might have changed that would cause this?
What is the easiest way on FC3 to have different wifi/ethernet settings
at home and at work?
Am I asking the right questions?
Frank.
