There's an issue and I think these patches might cause it. Earlier (with
commit 9289a8a8e2) my ath6kl device was always wlan0:

6: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast
state UP qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:03:7f:04:04:c2 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

But now for some reason it's always wlan3 even though the mac address is
the same:

4: wlan3: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:03:7f:04:04:c2 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

I'm guessing this has something to do with mac address and udev, but I
didn't investigate this. But if you have the time better to check that
there are no suprises hidden anywhere.
