Errors starting wirless driver on 17" G4 PowerBook

[Adam D <emlists@gmail.com>]

The output when $ sudo ifup eth1
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
Failed to bring up eth1.


It looks like in dmesg the bcm43xx is found when booting (using ubuntu on this box).  However the interface is not reconized or connected to bcm43xx.

Other than that there isn't any other mention of wireless.

In /etc/modules I included..

bcm43xx eth1

and...

my /etc/network/interfaces has this for the interface:

iface eth1 inet static
        name DS-wifi
        address 192.168.1.1
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 192.168.1.100
        wireless_mode Managed
        dns-nameservers 10.1.100.1
        wireless-essid xyz-abc
	wireless-key xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
	
All the still I can't bring up the interface.  Any extra help/eyes would be very helpful.  Thanks.
