    I have an older Linksys WPC-11 wireless card plugged into a Linksys
    wireless PCI adapter on my Fedora box. I also have an ethernet adapter
    plugged into a PCI slot.

    Linux sees eth0 as the wireless device and eth1 as the 'wired' device.

    In the network configuration utility I have the eth1 profile disabled
    and also have eth0 to be disabled at startup; have it enabled at system
    boot seemed to hang the system for a little bit before the device
    failing then successfully booting the system.

    The network configuration utility sees the card as something other than
    a Linksys card; I believe it's attempting to read the chipset and
    coming up with the closet driver available.

    When I go to save my configuration info in the network utility and
    attempt to start up the card I get:

            Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
                 SET failed on device eth0 ; Device or resource busy.
            Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) :
                 SET failed on device eth0 ; Device or resource busy.

            Determining IP information for eth0... failed.

    This particular card worked pretty well on my older RH 8 system running
    on a laptop.

    Has anyone gotten the Linksys PCI adapter/wireless card combo to work
    on Fedora?

    Thanks,
    V
