I had an airo for a while, but I swapped it for an Intel.  IIRC, the airo 
driver is a bit strange in that it creates wifi0 as a shadow device. 
There should also be an eth0 or eth1 that corresponds to the card (check 
the MAC address in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth*), and that's 
the one you want to bring up and down.
