It looks like this is yet another Eee model where eeepc-laptop is
hotplugging the wired network controller (similar to bug #573607)
instead of the wireless network controller.

eeepc-laptop should use a whitelist of those models where 01:00.0 is the
correct address, or some other method to find the correct address.  What
it's doing now is dangerously wrong.
