ath not setting media type? [SOLVED : devd is to blame]

[Niki Denev]

I think i found the problem, and it's in devd.

The problem affects only the media/link status notify events because
there the interface name is supplied in the variable "subsystem",
which fails to be assigned properly.

I'm not C++ expert but it looks that the duplicated declaration of the 
variable "value" is the problem.
I wonder why compiler doesn't complain about this... but i may be wrong,
because i don't know anyting about c++ :)

this patch fixed it for me :
