Need a little help with my network configuration



Hi,

I have a box with a usb-nic which uses the zd1211rw module.  The box is  
dist-upgraded to the testing level.  I can connect to the router using 
network-manager and from kde with network-manager-kde just fine.

eth1      IEEE 802.11b/g  ESSID:"cjwlan"  Nickname:"zd1211"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.437 GHz  Access Point: 00:04:0E:96:0F:37   
          Bit Rate=11 Mb/s   
          Encryption key: XXXXXXX   Security mode:open
          Link Quality=34/100  Signal level=28/100  
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

Every time I boot, I have to re-enter the passphrase again, but I want it to 
connect automatically at boot.  I tried to set up an interface 
in /etc/network/interfaces (I don't really need network-manager).  But I 
can't for the life of me get it working!  Here is my /etc/network/interfaces:
 
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
# allow-hotplug eth0
# iface eth0 inet dhcp

iface eth1 inet dhcp
	wireless_keymode restricted
	wireless_key XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 
	wireless_essid XXXXXXXXX

Any suggestions on either getting network-manager-kde to remember the 
passphrase, OR getting my normal network/interfaces working would be really, 
really appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris
