Bug Description
On a Dell D600 running Edgy with an Intel 2200BG, HAL changes the information published on the network device after coming out of suspend. Instead of listing it as a wireless device, it changes info.category and info.capabilities to advertise it as net.80203.
Network Manager thus detects the card as a wired interface instead of a wireless interface after suspending (everything is fine before suspending). It then goes on to claim that it is connected to a wired connection, but it does not actually configure the interface correctly, since it is using ZeroConf.
