Comment 25 for bug 9208

I have installed Hoary and reproduced the problem.

When I insert my prism2_usb device the modules are loaded but wlan0 is not
configured. The linux-wlan-ng package is not installed by default and it
contains the neccessary tools for configuring such a device - but I digress.

iwconfig, at this point reveals
lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

sit0 no wireless extensions.

wlan0 no wireless extensions.

Now, when I try to configure a new network connection and type in wlan0 by hand,
when I accept the final step the tool pauses and the offending symlinks are
created. The tool then crashed. I am sorry that I did not copy and save the
debugging information offered to me by bug-buddy...
