the attached are not yet engough:
- drakconnect has to know the mapping between drivers and kernel ethX
interfaces so that the right information is kept in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX and the like
- to do that, it loads network modules for network devices present on
the system; if after the module load, some network interfaces were
created, it add an alias for them in /etc/modules.conf ("alias eth3
3c59x" and the like)
- but for usb devices, there's a problem: when we get the list for
network interfaces in detect_devices::getNet(), network modules for
usb devices get automagically loaded, thus wlanX interfaces got
created before we can see them appearing.
i'll further investigate the problem.

Related to bug # 5614.
I plug in my USB SMC2662-AW. Modules usbvnet_rfmd load properly, iwconfig
recognises the wireless device as eth1.
I start Drakconnect, eth1 does not exist (not shown up in the list).
I run the wizard, eth1 is not detected. I choose it manually then carry on. I am
not asked to configure eth1.
Hope this can be fixed since it makes the device unusable (for a newbie)
