kernel renames wlan to eth

I am just wondering what is going on with all this device names renaming.

hostap always used to use wlanX device names.. but well in F8 this is some kind of different - at least on SMP system, the kernel asks for device wlan0 to be renamed to eth1. I thought it is udev magic, so I played with 70-persistent-net.rules, but it has no efect. Then I tried the udevmonitor and I see:

UEVENT[1203878535.039740] add /module/hostap (module)
UDEV [1203878535.042915] add /module/hostap (module)
UEVENT[1203878535.057209] add /module/hostap_pci (module)
UEVENT[1203878535.057845] add /bus/pci/drivers/hostap_pci (drivers)
UEVENT[1203878535.058343] add /class/net/wifi1 (net)
UDEV [1203878535.066578] add /bus/pci/drivers/hostap_pci (drivers)
UDEV [1203878535.069191] add /module/hostap_pci (module)
UDEV [1203878535.212557] add /class/net/wifi1 (net)
UEVENT[1203878535.269178] add /class/net/wlan0 (net)
UEVENT[1203878535.278823] move /class/net/eth1 (net)
UDEV [1203878539.946245] add /class/net/eth1 (net)
UDEV [1203878539.994233] move /class/net/eth1 (net)

So this has nothing to do with udev, it's kernel who is asking for device to be renamed. But why?
