Problem with WLAN PCI Card

I have a problem with my wlan pci adapter with prism chipset.

I use SuSE Linux 8.1. After some time I can't connect to my accespoint.
When I try to set the essid I get this message :

Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A)
Set faild on device eth1 ; Device or resource busy.


I hope that someone can help me.

Try "ifconfig eth1 down" before you set ESSID -job
