It'll probably take more investigation than I have time for this week,
so I'll just patch NM to accept the invalid driver name ('usb') as a
fallback.  Which is the behavior that 0.7.2 had anyway, so you can
consider it a regression in 0.7.2.995.  We'll eventually fix libertas
but I don't think we should block this on a libertas fix.
