-- just tried it the essid was already there  
i ADDED KEY=XXXXXXXXXXX
rebooted, and tried to activate it again and got this error
" checking /sbin/dhclient-script   continuing with defaults  "

   then no connection.  i then restarted the network   
and still couldn't connect the way i've done so far,  rebooted and now
connected.
here is my ifcfg-eth1 file
