Can you try the patch below?  And enable CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED.  It
should cause HAL to see the network devices again, as the symlink is now
back (it shouldn't have gone away, that was my fault...)

I tried this with HAL 0.5.7, which is pretty old, and hal-device-manager
shows my network devices properly.

thanks for your patience,
