Thanks for finding and fixing this.  I made a v2 patch with the change
that since DEVTYPE == "wlan" is a definitive indication that the
device is a network interface, that case should be with the other
device types for which DEVTYPE is definitive.  v2 patch attached.

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] v2 of Cole's wlan support

* Incorporated Jim's feedback

* Moved case of DEVTYPE == "wlan" up as it's definitive that we have a network interface.

* Made comment more detailed about the wired case to explain better
  how it differentiates between wired network interfaces and USB
  devices.
