[Bug 59981] Re: suspend makes network-manager say eth1 is a wired device

[Soren Hansen]

Just FYI: It indeed WAS a race condition. On suspend, most network
drivers are unloaded, and are then reloaded on resume. When loading the
module, hal is notified of the presence of a new device and quickly add
it to it's database. If it's a network interface, it checks
/proc/net/wireless to see if the interface in question is mentioned
there, and if so, it's marked as being a wifi interface. Apparantly, hal
manages to check the file before the device is added to it, and hence
it's detected as a non-wifi interface.  This new detection code checks
for the presence of /sys/class/net/<ifname>/wireless directory, which
seems to be a more robust mechanism for detecting this.

Enjoy
