Wireless

[Don Springall]

After today's rawhide update dhclient is started at boot time and does not 
pick up an ip address.  So instead of doing an /sbin/ifup eth1 I have to do 
a /sbin/ifdown eth1 first before bringing up the wireless card.

I have never been able to get the system to start the interface correctly I 
think because it tries to determine an IP address before network-manager is 
up and running.

Anyone have any insights on what I should change ? My ifcfg-eth1 is below.
