Why are the network connections in the Network System Preference panel mislabeled? Here is a screenshot of a problem I am having. The wireless connection is mis-labled as Ethernet and my wired connection is mis-labeled as Wi-Fi.



/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist appears to have the correct labels for the correct interfaces.

Why might these interfaces be mislabeled? Could this cause problems? How can I fix it?
We had this problem when we provisioned an image taken from another device. It won't hurt anything, but if it bothers you, you can rename it from the UI.

Click the gear drop-down at the bottom of the list, then select "Rename Service"
