No, you're right. I was just noting that I had made an assumption that
wasn't necessarily valid without more info from the OP.
While it seemed obvious to me how you'd know it was being treated
as "wired", it seemed equally obvious where that conclusion would have led
me (ie, checking lsmod and hal to find out what module the interface is
actually using)- so I probably had made a bad assumption about how much the
OP knew about what was happening.
