#14 Doesn't detect cisco aironet cards
When I insert a Cisco Aironet 350 PCMCIA card in the
laptop, the applet doesn't detect it. Other brands work.
Cisco cards are detected as two separate interfaces
(ethX and wifiX X=1,2,2,etc), gWireless should detect
this and use the correct one.
The output from iwconfig is:
eth1 IEEE 802.11-DS ESSID:"tsunami"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.447GHz Access
Point: 00:0D:BD:1F:BA:5E
Bit Rate:11Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm

Noise level:-92 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx
invalid frag:0

And the proc filesystem entries:
cat /proc/net/wireless

Same here with airo wireless pcmcia card.
$ cat /proc/net/wireless
Inter-| sta-| Quality | Discarded packets
| Missed | WE face | tus | link level noise | nwid
crypt frag retry misc | beacon | 16 eth0: 003f 10.
179. 163. 1 0 0 3 3677 107
wifi0: 003f 10. 179. 163. 1 0 0 3
3677 107
The preferences of the applet see the two interfaces but
both show N/A as level information.
