I have seen number of discussions on the topic of what the interfaces should be named, but none of those seem to be going anywhere and I have not seen any consensus on this topic. As such, the best thing to do seems to be not to do anything, i.e., not rename wlan# to anything else. If someone claims that d80211 is changing the existing behavior, I would just like to point out that wlan# is already used in the current mainline kernel and that argument does not sound reasonable. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
