[SOLVED] "eth1 timed out" but by iwconfig-command it works

Hi,
Strange, Im setting up my wireless with ipw2200-fw. I used the template-Network-Profile and changed the settings like this:

#
# Network Profile
#

DESCRIPTION="wifi profile"
# Network Settings
INTERFACE=eth1
HOSTNAME=myhostname

# Interface Settings (use IFOPTS="dhcp" for DHCP)
IFOPTS="dhcp"
#GATEWAY=192.168.0.1

# DNS Settings (optional)

# Wireless Settings (optional)
ESSID="essid"
KEY=1234567890

IWOPTS="mode managed essid $ESSID channel 11 key restricted $KEY"

#WIFI_INTERFACE=wlan0   # use this if you have a special wireless interface
                        # that is linked to the real $INTERFACE

#WIFI_WAIT=5            # seconds to wait for the wireless card to
                        # associate before bringing the interface up
#USEWPA="yes"           # start wpa_supplicant with the profile
#WPAOPTS=""             # use "" for normal operation or specify additional
                        # options (eg, "-D ipw")
                        # see /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf for configuration
#AUTOWPA="yes"          # automatically configure WPA
#PASSKEY=""             # wpa passkey/phrase. for use with AUTOWPA

When I boot up with kernel-option "net=home" it results in a "eth1 timed out". But if I use the following iwconfig-command, it works:

iwconfig eth1 mode managed essid "essid" channel 11 key restricted 1234567890

What is wrong with my config? Maybe the kernel-parameter is not correct?

Thanks for help.
