Thanks again Phil,
I've added alias eth1 ipw2200 to /etc/modprobe.conf, but I still can't get
it to a) recognize eth1 and/or b) to list the Intel Coporation PRO/Wireless
2200BG adapter, so I can't confiure eth1. I'm obviously missing something,
but with the help of people on the CentOS list, I think I'm creeping nearer
to the eventual solution, so any more help is much appreciated!
Andy

Now that you mention it, IIRC I had to add "alias eth1 ipw2200"
to /etc/modprobe.conf to get eth1 to show up on my laptop.
