[maemo-developers] purpose of the interface wlan0:1

[From: Michael Stepanov]

HI,

I have a problem with that interface. After flashing my Nokia770 by its
latest image I cannot connect to the my WiFi access point with wlan0. By
some reason it brings up wlan0:1 instead. I didn't change any connection
settings. So, I have no idea how to solve that problem.

Thanks in advance.
