This appears to be caused by the KEY= entry in ifcfg-eth1: [root@deepblue rpm]# tail /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 ONBOOT=yes DHCP_HOSTNAME= IPADDR= NAME= DOMAIN= ESSID= CHANNEL=1 MODE=Ad-Hoc KEY=s: <--------------------bad s: RATE=11Mb/s I can fix this with editing the file and then restarting network: [root@deepblue rpm]# tail /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethx ONBOOT=yes DHCP_HOSTNAME= IPADDR= NAME= DOMAIN= ESSID= CHANNEL=1 MODE=Ad-Hoc KEY= <<------------ gone RATE=11Mb/s This removes the error message BUT::: whenever I use the neat/network GUI and change a value, it recreates this darn KEY=s: and I need to manually edit ifcfg-eth1 again. Which script is causing this error? Can one fix it?
