Thanks again Phil, I've added alias eth1 ipw2200 to /etc/modprobe.conf, but I still can't get it to a) recognize eth1 and/or b) to list the Intel Coporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG adapter, so I can't confiure eth1. I'm obviously missing something, but with the help of people on the CentOS list, I think I'm creeping nearer to the eventual solution, so any more help is much appreciated!

Now that you mention it, IIRC I had to add "alias eth1 ipw2200" to /etc/modprobe.conf to get eth1 to show up on my laptop.
