Description of problem:
Plugging in a Windows Mobile 6 PDA (E-TEN Glofiish X500+) results in a crash 
of the NetworkManager. This happens both with the default kernel and with a 
custom-built kernel with the patch from SynCE applied to rndis_host module. 
Just before dying, NM displays a "You're connected to a wired network" 
balloon.

Relevant portion of dmesg output:

usbcore: registered new interface driver cdc_ether
usbcore: registered new interface driver rndis_host
usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3
usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
eth2: register 'rndis_host' at usb-0000:00:1d.0-1, RNDIS device, 
80:00:60:0f:e8:00
eth2: no IPv6 routers present
nm-applet[3314]: segfault at 00000000 eip 00958bc8 esp bfb96c7c error 4


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.7.0-0.5.svn3030.fc8

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Plug the PDA (tried only with E-TEN Glofiish X500+, but suspect that any 
activation of rndis_host interface will trigger it).
2. See the networkmanager applet go away, look at dmesg to confirm that it 
crashed.

Actual Results:
