Comment(by shep):

 On irc while helping pgf figure out some weirdness he is seeing, it occurs
 to me that the root of this problem might be that NetworkManager finds
 both the mlan0 interface (renamed to eth0) and the uap0 interface and
 tries to make them both go, not realizing that underneath it is the same
 hardware.

 I should look into this theory, and as pgf suggests one easy way to fix
 this might be to patch the mwifiex driver so it does not offer up the uap0
 interface.
