I removed this confusing dual wifi0 interface since version 20031011.
Moreover, monitor mode is still broken, so I think there's no need
to keep it.

With RH, you also can manually edit your
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 config file :

DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=no
PEERDNS=no  # don't overwrite /etc/resolv.conf 

MODE=Managed
NICKNAME=nickname
CHANNEL=10

ESSID=your_essid
KEY="xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xx"

And manually start and stop your interface with : /sbin/ifup eth1
and /sbin/ifdown eth1. The ifup script should magically launch
the dhcp client according to the BOOTPROTO value.

Best wishes,
