Wireless Network Config Problem :((

[Christoph Georgi]

The two commands you describe should be run by '$ ifup eth1' 
automatically..!? (and that on startup too, as every interface declared 
at "auto" in the interfaces is brought up at boot)

If your interface is up, type '$ sudo ifdown eth1' to bring it down. 
Then type '$ sudo ifup eth1' to bring the interface up. Everything 
should work.
