Bug Description
The version of hal shipped with warty core dumps on startup if you have a WiFi
card with the Atheros chipset (one of the more common ones in modern laptops).
The code that crashes it was stripped out again upstream due to large numbers of
problems.

At this point in the release cycle, I think I'd prefer that we disable the code
in our existing hal, rather than upgrade hal and dbus. What is your opinion?
