I would expect wmx0 to show up in ifconfig anyway, unless you blacklist
the i2400m_usb module. This is a 4G broadband device.
The actual network card on this system is an Atheros, which is still seen by
lspci:
02:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR8162 Fast

Kernel driver in use: alx

The wired network device seems to be found at boot:

Connection
I also have a system with a WiMAX device. I also see it being listed as a
wired device with nm-tool:
- Device: wmx0 -----------------------------------------------------------------
Type: Wired
Driver: i2400m_usb
State: unavailable
Default: no
However, it does not affect my real wired devcie:
- Device: eth0 [Wired connection 1] -------------------------------------------
Type: Wired
Driver: e1000e
State: connected
Default: yes
Do you see your Atheros wired device at all with nm-tool?
There could be two issues here:
1. Network Manager is marking WiMAX as a wired device, which may or may not be
desired. I'll add a nm task to the bug, so this can be reviewed. I also see
my nm marked my WiMAX card as a wired device.
2. The AR8162 device is not functioning properly, which could be driver
related, since it appears in lspci.
Can you try a few tests?
1. Does this system have a hardware switch or hot keys to disable wifi? If
so, can you disable wifi and reboot to see if the AR8162 device appears in
ifconfig -a?
2. Can you rmmod then modprobe the alx driver to see if it will allow the
AR8162 to appear?
3. Can you also check that the AR8162 device has a link light.
