Wifi problem with Fedora Core 4 after yum update

[Sean Winship]

I just ran "yum update" and the kernel changed to 2.6.15-1.1830_FC4. 
 Prior to this update I would connect to my home wireless network by 
 running "ifconfig eth0 down", inserting my wireless card (Wavelan 
 Silver), and running: 
      /sbin/iwconfig eth1 essid "My ESSID" enc aabbccddee 
 
(I freely admit that my knowledge of Linux wireless networking is 
 limited and that the above may be non-optimal.) 
 
After the update, when I insert my wireless card I see wifi0 and wlan0 
 instead of eth1 and running: 
 
     /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 essid "My ESSID" enc aabbccddee 
 
gives me an error indicating that the encryption key can't be set on my 
 card. 
 
Reverting to a previous kernel on boot allows me to use eth1, so 
 something evidently changed with the built-in drivers.  Does anyone 
 have any ideas on how to either get the previous behavior from the 
 latest kernel or configure wlan0 properly? 
 
Thanks, 
 
Sean
