Bug Description

On snowball, with:
http://snapshots.linaro.org/precise/hwpacks/lt-snowball-x11-base/156/hwpack_linaro-lt-snowball-x11-base_20120626-156_armhf_supported.tar.gz
http://snapshots.linaro.org/precise/images/ubuntu-desktop/247/linaro-precise-ubuntu-desktop-20120626-247.tar.gz

I am seeing the wireless device, but it is detected as wlan2. As such, it doesn't show up by default in network manager. I can configure it anyway, and it seems to work though. There are no other wlan* devices detected, however there seem to have been some in the udev rules, even though.

# net device ()

Looks like the mac address is not static for the wlan interface.
