Airport/iBook/YDL3.0 problems

Just as a follow up to this, I actually had to add a KEY="" line to the 
eth1 config file.  Leaving it as an empty string worked, though, and I 
now have both the network working, and the GUI config tool!  Very 
strange, I'd say Red Hat (or Terrasoft) need to add a few more exception 
cases to the gui config program.

So, to summarize, to get the redhat-config-network tool to work, my 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 file had to look like this:

DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=no
ESSID="default"
KEY=""

Cheers,

Ben
