I see it with a Dell vostro and a 
0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 
01)

Loaded the restricted broadcom driver.  I have eth0 (on board NIC), eth1
(renamed wlan0, has same config I gave to the old eth1 wireless config
before I updated to hardy from 7.10) and wlan0_rename all of which are
listed as "Wired" connects and will not allow for ESSID or KEYS to be
added.

Worked around it by editing /etc/network/interfaces  Added wlan0_rename:

iface wlan0_rename inet static
address 192.168.200.14
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.200.1
wireless-key xxxxxxxxxx
wireless-essid Damtek

Used network-admin to de-select the other "wired" connections so they
will not be activated.  Init 1 or reboot, worked just fine.  network-
admin still shows connection as "wired".  no way to "automatically"
config the wireless.
