Hello Davis,
Maybe is easier for you to create an udev rule to rename your wireless
devices always the same way. An example:
file /etc/udev/rules.d/wireless-devices.rules:
KERNEL=="phy*", SYSFS{address}=="00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx", NAME="phy0"
KERNEL=="phy*", SYSFS{address}=="00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx", NAME="phy1"
You can see more information here

This works fine for me :)
