Description of problem:

I am not sure of the correct component. But my current issue is that my t60p will not recognize wireless networks. I see the following in /var/log/messages:

In addition, when I attempt to start the wpa_supplicant service I get the following:

[root@dhcp231-81 log]# service wpa_supplicant stop
