I can confirm this on IBM x40 also with the Atheros ABG wireless card:
lspci gives this:
02:02.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)
My ath0 interface is identified as a wired network.
I found that logging out of Gnome and from a tty login restart dbus helps:
sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart
After logging into Gnome the card is identified as a wireless card again. Perhaps less will do, but I haven't found out yet... I'll post here if I find a better solution.
I also tried the following which ISN'T enough:
sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/26NetworkManagerDispatcher stop
sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager stop
sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager start
sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/26NetworkManagerDispatcher start
killall nm-applet
nm-applet --sm-disable
Let me know if you need any info from log files and so.
