In redhat 9 i am not able to fix that and it is a big problem and major
inconvenience because i use 9 different profiles. The problems i am
having is that at boot the wrong modules are being loaded and when i
access neat to configure networking i get error that eth0 has orinoco_cs
loaded instead of 3c59x which is specified in /etc/modules.conf and most
neat networking functionality is broken at that point..It doesn't allow
to do anything other than delete the devices. I tried to trace the bug
but wasn't able to find it. So i have to do the following every time I change my network settings. ifdown eth0
modprobe -d orinoco_cs
modprobe -all
edit the various scripts depending on my current network setup. or just
use iwconfig to start eth1 ifup eth0 ifup eth1
dhcclient
Has anyone encountered these problems?
I experienced a new bug in the wireless portion of neat on RH9. It was bugzilled and is now fixed (but not yet in RHN). The bug only affected the set up of encryption keys with wireless cards, though. I only have two profiles (not 9!? like you), a wired ethernet and my wireless PCMCIA, but I haven't had any other problems.
It sounds like you have everything configured correctly. I know the networking scripts got a lot more complicated back when they added hotplug support. Not sure how to help.
