Bug Description

In Ubuntu Hardy, with the iwl3945 driver, my wireless card appears as two different cards:

eth1 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-1B-77-54-03-CB-40-18-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

wlan0_rename Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1b:77:54:03:cb
          inet addr:192.168.1.11 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::21b:77ff:fe54:3cb/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
          RX packets:54120 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:40741 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:72634807 (69.2 MB) TX bytes:4641540 (4.4 MB)

The one that works is wlan0_rename, which is originally wmaster0_rename, but network manager renames to wlan0_rename.

I expect to get a single interface for it, instead of two of them.

With the old ipw3945 driver this didn't happen.
