Here is an ifcfg-eth1 that works in my HP laptop using the BCM4318
with the ndiswrapper driver.  I've never gotten the bcm43xx driver
to work reliably.  Anyway, the "/etc/modprobe.conf" file has:

	alias eth1 ndiswrapper

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 has:

	# Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g
	# Wireless LAN Controller
	TYPE=Wireless
	DEVICE=eth1
	ONBOOT=yes
	BOOTPROTO=dhcp
	ESSID=myessid
	HWADDR=00:14:a5:61:74:18
	NETMASK=
	DHCP_HOSTNAME=
	IPADDR=
	DOMAIN=
	USERCTL=yes
	IPV6INIT=no
	PEERDNS=yes
	RATE=Auto
	MODE=Managed
	CHANNEL=

As for the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/keys-eth1 file, it contains:

	KEY='0xYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY open'

The "YYYY" stuff represents 26 hex characters and we use the "open"
access mode.  At home I have similar stuff set up, but the access mode
is "restricted" and I use an ASCII string as the key instead of hex,
e.g.:

	KEY='s:wxyzwxyzwxyz restricted'

Use as you see fit.  Just thought an example might help.
