Fix a missing Wireless Driver icon problem

I recently installed the wireless driver for my Orinoco Gold card, from the wireless driver project at sourceforget.net. I was rather frustrated to see a generic "Applications" icon for the "WirelessConfig" program in my /Applications folder.

In looking at the program's contents (control-click on the application then select "Show Package Contents"), I noticed that there was not a "CFBundleIconFile" entry in the Contents -> Info.plist file. In looking in the Contents -> Resources directory, I found a "cardicon.icns" file, and figured it was the correct icon file to use. After creating the string "CFBundleIconFile" with a value of "cardicon.icns" as the value in the Info.plist file, the generic icon was replaced by a nice wireless nice icon. I did need to log out then log back in to see the changes, though.
