Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-netstatus-applet

Running Ubuntu 8.04 and gnome-netstatus-applet version 2.12.1-1ubuntu1

When I attempt to Configure my wireless card, wlan0, I get the following error:

The interface does not exist

Check that it is correctly typed and that it is correctly supported by your system.

Wireless nic is working perfectly, showing packets being sent and everything...

So of course I expect to be able to config my wireless nic.

This is on my ASUS F3Sv laptop which has a Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG nic.

95% sure I did not have this issue with Ubuntu 7.10
