  NetworkManager applet shows wrong wired interface name

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: network-manager

  I'm running an up-to-date Lucid system, and I just noticed the
  following glitch; I'm not sure which version it might have started in.
  In any case, I have a workstation with two Intel gigabit NICs on-
  board, and I'm using a Chelsio dual-port PCIe add-on board as my
  actual network interface.  To be precise:

  $ for i in $(seq 0 3); do echo; echo == eth$i ==; ethtool -i eth$i;
  done

  == eth0 ==
  driver: e1000e
  version: 1.0.2-k2
  firmware-version: 0.15-5
  bus-info: 0000:03:00.0

  == eth1 ==
  driver: e1000e
  version: 1.0.2-k2
  firmware-version: 0.5-7
  bus-info: 0000:04:00.0

  == eth2 ==
  driver: cxgb3
  version: 1.1.3-ko
  firmware-version: T 7.4.0 TP 1.1.0
  bus-info: 0000:06:00.0

  == eth3 ==
  driver: cxgb3
  version: 1.1.3-ko
  firmware-version: T 7.4.0 TP 1.1.0
  bus-info: 0000:06:00.0

  The actual port I am using is eth2 from the Chelsio cxgb3 NIC:

  $ ifconfig eth2
  eth2      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:07:43:05:37:2d  
            inet addr:10.33.42.9  Bcast:10.33.42.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

            inet6 addr: fe80::207:43ff:fe05:372d/64 Scope:Link

            Interrupt:16 Memory:fafff000-faffffff 

  However, as the attached screenshot shows, the NM applet shows my
  active connection as being "Intel Corporation 82573L Gigabit Ethernet
  Controller" instead of as the Chelsio NIC as it should.

  Perhaps there's an issue because the Chelsio NIC has two separate
  ports/netdevs but only one PCI device??
