Nuts... that explains that then :(
I guess this isn't a problem if you're using NetworkManager (since no
ifcfg-* files are needed), but NetworkManager also has it's own problems
at the moment. Although, when I was using NetworkManager I had the
problem that when the device reappears you get a default ifcfg-* file
which causes the boot process to sit there trying to get a DHCP lease off
an 802.11 card that has no ESSID set (so it could never work), so this is
still a problem.
