package/network-manager: support WEXT drivers which report mode AUTO

Some wireless drivers report IW_MODE_AUTO instead of IW_MODE_MANAGED.
NetworkManager 1.0.12 introduced a change, which makes it skip such
interfaces.

This patch is a backport of a workaround for this problem from the
NetworkManager upstream.
