Thanks for the response, that is exactly what I have now. I am not sure if I have to set some cards to eth1, or what is those aliases? It is very confusing...

Eyal, I ran into the same problem with my previous laptop -- I needed my wireless PCMCIA NIC to use at home, and my ethernet PCMCIA NIC to use at work. The setup I got working, was to setup my wireless PCMCIA card as eth0 (which I did while at home), and then setup my ethernet PCMCIA card as eth1 when I was at the office. During this setup, I had the wireless PCMCIA card at home, not plugged in. For whatever reason, it worked fine. Both cards came up as eth0 (since only one was plugged in at a time), and when at the office I would see an error about the incorrect module for eth0 being loaded, but it still worked fine. I never got the system to work correctly while both cards were plugged in, even if only one card was connected to a network. As long as only one card was plugged in, then whichever card was in use came up as eth0, and it worked fine in spite of any error messages.
