If you want users to be able to control the interface, this should be
USERCTL=yes
Then you can issue ifup/ifdown from the command line or a network
monitor applet without becoming root.

You need to have the ESSID (the name you gave in your wireless router
setup) specified.

RATE=Auto

Also, if your router uses WEP encryption, you should have a file in the
same directory called keys-eth1 with the WEP key in plain text form.
You can set all these things in the Wireless Settings tab for the eth1
device in system-config-network.
