eth0 gets enabled via frameworkd (there is also another way via sysfs  
i currently don't remember)

here my tests so far:

first i installed the package provided by luca.

test a)
	wicd not installed,
	usb-net connected,
	reboot
	----
	ar6000 was loaded automatically
	no krnl-oops
	eth0 appeared after 'enabling' via frameworkd
	ifup eth0 worked

	no probs found

test b)
	wicd installed and started on boot
	usb-net not connected on boot (but later to easy work)
	reboot
	----
	ar6000 was loaded automatically
	no krnl-oops
	eth0 appeared after 'enabling' via frameworkd
	ifup eth0 worked

	eth0 comes up even when manually rmmod ar6000 when enabling via  
frameworkd

(but i now de-installed wicd again ..)

cheers,
	christian (morlac) adams
