I just recently installed redhat 7.3 on a Compaq Armada 7800 and am trying
to configure it for wireless access.  Currently, when I run ifconfig from
the prompt, I get the following message:

-------------
> ifconfig etho

Warning : Device eth0 has been compiled with version 1
of Wireless Extension, while we are using version 12.
Some things may be broken...

eth0      IEEE 802.11-DS  ESSID:"twctcnet"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.412GHz  Access Point: 00:40:96:00:D6:01
          Bit Rate=11Mb/s   Tx-Power=15 dBm   Sensitivity:0/ -105694560
          RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:6/255  Signal level:38/100  Noise level:0/0
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
        Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:752 Missed beacon:0

So it appears that the card is working, since it can get the correct MAC
address for the access point, but it cannot send/receive to it.  It might be
a simple networking configuration problem, but I can't for the life of me
figure out how to configure the ip address.  When I go to run the "Network
Configuration" program (I'm running Gnome) there are no devices installed.
I try to add a device (ie eth0), but it doesn't give me the option to add a
Wireless device (even though I've seen screenshots of redhat linux that
display the option to add a wireless device).

Does anyone have any hints or suggestions?  Are there ways to configure the
IP address through the shell?  Replies are appreciated.

Thanks,
Ben
