I very very very very strongly disagree with that, not all users are 
techies and one of the main reasons for doing projects like NWAM and 
building GUIs is to keep it simple and have the computer do the correct 
thing as much as it can.  Particularly since the driver names themselves 
don't give any indication of how something is connected and nwamd can't 
easily find that out (in some cases it might not actually be possible to 
do this accurately).

The stance that all users should know every bit of hardware and what 
driver drives it is not helpful to adoption and reeks of elitism.
