Support calls from people buying machines with Ubuntu pre-installed declined 30% after we made this change just on the machines being shipped through OEM's. People who are "trying to get online" were clearly preferring wifi, and unable to find the network indicator unless it looked like wifi.
However, in the case where there is *no* wifi card, we should probably take a different approach. A patch would be welcome, if not for Lucid then certainly for Lucid+1.
