[Bug 80397] ath0 shows up as a wired device in NetworkManager

[Eli Criffield]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: hal

with kernel package
Linux-image-2.6.20-5-generic               2.6.20-5.7

And madwifi-ng direct from madwifi's svn server Revision 1970 (current
as of Jan 16 2007)

the ath0 wireless card device shows up as wired device in
NetworkManager, which i assume is asking hal.

Could be the way madwifi presents itself, making it there bug?

hal-device shows this:
