Yeah, it's confusing.

"auto" means that babeld will attempt detection of a wireless
interface. If it's successful, it will be identical to "wireless".  If the
detection fails, the result is to be "wired" except for split horizon.

I guess I'll define a new type "conservative" which corresponds to what is
done if the interface is not detected as wireless.  Or do you have better
ideas?
