wireless misconfiguration again....FFFFFUUUUUUU

[cespinal]

after having some trouble last week with my wireless...no I am facing some more complicated ones to my extent.

for some reason, the kernel is loading my wireless card as eth1 and knetworkmanager seeks for such name, but lshw -c network shows two connections: eth0 and eth2... after trying some stuff I got the wireless led to turn blue, meaning that the kernel loaded it although knetworkmanager could not detect it. Now the led is back at orange and I cant for the hell of me solve this thing.

here are the outputs for the common commands used in this case

:~$ lshw -C network
