   [root at mbrc35 ~]# cat /etc/modprobe.conf
   alias eth0 e100
   alias scsi_hostadapter ata_piix
   alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
   options snd-card-0 index=0
   options snd-hda-intel index=0
   alias wlan0 3c501

I did not add the last line, but I changed eth1 to wlan0.
In any case, I commented it out and rebooted. When I tried
to activate, I still got:

   Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
    SET failed on device wlan0 ; Device or resource busy.
   Error for wireless request "Set Bit Rate" (8B20) :
    SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported.

   Determining IP information for wlan0... failed.

I am thinking of reinstalling FC7.  I may have messed up
something in fiddling around. In any case, I have to stop
working on this now.  I'll get back to it later this evening
or tomorrow.
