Hi all,

Ifupdown plugin tries to ‘bootstrap’ wired and wifi devices at startup. While this works, wifi devices are added as wired devices.

It appears that the plugin calls hald_device_added_cb2 with type NM_DEVICE_TYPE_ETHERNET for the both wired and wifi devices. I believe that must be a mistake. At least, changing it to NM_DEVICE_TYPE_WIFI made our device show up as a wireless interface. Patch attached.

Regards,

Gertjan
