OK. I think udev rules is nicer. Do you think such rules should be
shipped within NM, or in udev itself?

The rule is currently:
KERNEL=="msh*", SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1286", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2001", ENV{NM_DEVICE_TYPE}="olpcmesh"

I don't know why we can't match on DRIVER=="libertas" (it's blank, must
be a libertas bug) so it's a bit messy. Also soon we will be adding
another rule since the XO-1.5 will come with wifi on SDIO.

Thanks,
Daniel
