Hardware IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad T60 with Intel wireless card (ipw3945)
Detected as eth1 (OK, same on suse10.2)
Network setup: Traditional Method with ifup

When configuring network via yast2, the wireless device is shown as:
Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
When "Configure", on the "Hardware" tab you can see that the right module
(ipw3945) will be loaded. 
On the "Address" tab you can see that "Device Type" is "Ethernet" and not
"Wireless" as it should be.
The consequence is that the page to configure the wlan access will not appear
when you press "Next".
(when I copy the configuration from suse10.2 as ifcfg-eth1, the connection
works perfect)
