ORBIT-USER: Where's the WiFi device on sb2?

Hi,

I've been trying to wrestle nodehandler to run my code and was making  
progress when I noticed that
my experiments were a little too successful; my code was picking the  
1Gbps wired network device
instead of the wireless one :-)

However, I appear unable to actually locate the device interface for  
the wireless card; I simply run
`nodehandler -t -k` - which should create me a device ath0, but when  
I ssh into the node after the
simulation I only see the two wired interfaces:

node1-1:~# iwconfig
eth0      no wireless extensions.

eth1      no wireless extensions.

lo        no wireless extensions.

It also doesn't like my suggestion to manually ifconfig the ath0 device:

node1-1:~# ifconfig ath0 up
ath0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
node1-1:~#


Any thoughts?

Cheers,

Einar
