Bug Description

Binary package hint: network-manager

This probably belongs somewhere else, but I am unsure of where. This is my very first bug report, so I apologize if I make any mistake in protocol.

I imagine suspending (sleeping) should not swap network interface names, in which case this belongs to whatever system deals with it. In any event, NetworkManager is unable to deal with it, although KNetworkManager might be the guilty party. I have not enough knowledge of HAL+Dbus to figure it out.
By confused, I mean that the previous eth1, now called eth0 (ipw2200 driver, by the way), is considered wired and fails to associate with the AP

Indeed it is. This should probably be closed. The temporary solution presented there works as well.
Sorry for a bad first try :)
