That remembers me of some problems having with NM.
Before I was used to name my wirelss wlan0 instead of eth0 using
ifrename. Can NM handle this scenarion at runtime?

Another problem is, that NM still shows scan results, after switching
my wireless radio off. Shouldn't it disable wireless?

I'm using ipw2200-1.0.6.
