Let's quote another of Ray's statements:
"And ifconfig -a does indeed show it, sorry about that."

So if he did then try to initialize that device, that clearly
_did_ show up in a standard place where network devices are
expected to show up, he did see the message I quoted.
Well, what if he did not try to initialize the device by doing
an "ifconfig wlanX up"? That can hardly be my fault, right?
