Description of problem:
HW is a Dell D600 laptop with Intel/PRO Wireless 2100 3B mini PCI adapter.  Installation found the card & loads the ipw2100 module (the HW Browser application shows the device as /dev/eth1) but doesn't configure it.  There seem to be two problems:
1) The Network Configuration application incorrectly shows the device as an Ethernet, not Wireless.  After configuring the card, I edited the "TYPE=" string in /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth1 to be "Wireless" and re-ran the Network Configuration app to set up wireless parameters.
2) Trying to start the card gives the following message:
ipw2100 device eth1 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.

I can't make the card be recognized.  After inserting a Cisco 350 in the laptop's slot I had wireless connectivity, but it was using the eth1 configuration I'd previously set up for the Cisco -- I never had to configure the new device.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.11-1.1226_FC4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install FC4 test 2
2. Configure ipw2100 device (see description)
3. 'ifup eth1'
  

Actual Results:  The following message appears on the console:
ipw2100 device eth1 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.

Expected Results:  Wireless device should have enabled & connection should have been established.
