Hi. I started the thread. Someone responded that setting HWADDR in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 might make the problem disappear. And it did! After setting HWADDR with the MAC for the wireless card, the problem has not been encountered since. I guess it still is a problem, but it works. Not very nice for mom and pops at home trying out a user-friendly linux distro though. Greets, Rubin.
