ndiswrapper doesn't create the necessary /sys/class/net/<device>/device links that HAL needs to be able to actually know that the device is a real ethernet card, rather than something like the cipsec Cisco IPSec device, or the sit0 IP6 device. There's really no other way to know that wlan0 is really a hardware device or not. The only way that PCMCIA cards get to work is because cardmgr dumps the device name to /var/lib/pcmcia/stab, which we can then match up with the reported net device name. ndiswrapper needs to be fixed.
