Could someone else have used your box with a WiFi stick?

Could you have restored these ifcfg files from the backup of a box
that used WiFi?

Was your box built using kickstart and a "%post" script dropped them
into "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/"?

WAG: Could there be some wired router that you use that requires
authentication and that NM misidentifies as wireless?!
