Unable to start network interface

Hi

(sorry for my bad English)

I'm trying to configure an US Robotics (USR5423) wirless usb adapter on Fedora 9. the device is detected, and i'm trying to configure a wireless connection.
When I want to activate the device using
#service network restart
or
# /etc/init.d/network restart
the following errors are shown:

Shutting down device wlan0 - [Failed]

Bringing up interface wlan0 - [Failed]
: Error for wireless request "set mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device wlan0 : Invalid argument

Determining IP information for wlan0... Failed

After these error messages the SE troubleshoot browser pops out with an AVC denial:

Summary: SELinux is preventing the semodule from using potentially mislabeled files (/home/Teis/.xsession-errors)
It tells me that i have to relabel the file and the whole directory using restorecon.
After doing this, and restarting the network services, the errors (and the acv denial) were still there

I realy hope someone can help me (please explain everything clear, because i'm a linux newbie Smilie)

NAME
scconf_transp_adap_e1000g - configure the Intel PRO/1000 network adapter DESCRIPTION
Note - Beginning with the Sun Cluster 3.2 release, Sun Cluster software includes an object-oriented command set. Although Sun Cluster software still supports the original command set, Sun Cluster procedural documentation uses only the object-oriented command set. For more infor- mation about the object-oriented command set, see the Intro(1CL) man page. You can configure e1000g Intel PRO/1000 network adapters as cluster transport adapters. These adapters can only be used with transport type dlpi. The e1000g based network adapter connects to a transport switch or to another Ethernet adapter on a different node. In either case, the connection is made through a transport cable. When a transport switch is used and the endpoints of the transport cable are configured by using scconf, scinstall, or other tools, you are asked to specify a port name on the transport switch. You can provide any port name, or accept the default, as long as the name is unique for the switch. The default is to set the port name to the node identifier that hosts the adapter at the other end of the cable. There are no user configurable properties for cluster transport adapters of this type.
