Hi

There is some problems with wireless applet:

  - first it does not handle not "wiX" interfaces, I have ndis0 wireless
interface, but applet can't find any wireless interfaces at all. Problem
can be fixed by "ifconfig ndis0 name wi0" but it looks like hack. I
guess it is better to query all interfaces for wireless capabilities.

  - second, it can't show wireless level (show N/A) for this interface,
card is ndis0: <Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection> 
    and wicontrol -L shows signal strength, noise and level.
