 If you run ifconfig with a typo, e.g.

 ifconfig /dev/net/atheroswifi/ down

 the deskbar network applet will get a new (erroneous) device entry
 "/dev/net/atheroswifi/: No link"

 I don't know if the bug is in ifconfig or the deskbar applet, so I dropped
 it into networkstatus. I would think ifconfig should tell you that you
 didn't use a real network device... maybe this is two bugs?
