Title:
Network Manager regularly thinks my wifi is a wired device
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When I boot up my network doesn't automatically connect. I instead
see when I click the network manager applet that it's got no Wifi
devices listed. It thinks my wireless card is an ethernet device.
This isn't true and I have no ethernet devices in my system.
When this situation happens if I issue /etc/init.d/network-manager
restart it comes back up thinking it's a wireless device and happily
associates with my saved SSID.
