Atheros wireless pcmcia shows as wired

[Grant Williamson <traxtopel gmail com>]

Dan,
doing some tests on 0.6.5, I stopped my ipw3945 card, popped in my 
Netgear WG511T pcmcia wireless card and saw this - thinks it is wired. 
How does NM detect if the card is wired/wireless? Is this a known issue.
