Bug Description
When I boot up my network doesn't automatically connect. I instead see when I click the network manager applet that it's got no Wifi devices listed. It thinks my wireless card is an ethernet device. This isn't true and I have no ethernet devices in my system.
When this situation happens if I issue /etc/init.
