What else do I need to do? I've scoured google but have In 2.4.x, drivers tend to only have internal knowledge on which hardware they work. So you need to give some 'alias eth1 wlanmodulename' in your /etc/modules.conf file. For 2.6.x, drivers export this table and (in theory), the hotplug scripts *can* load a driver just upon the card showing up. However, normally (for static network cards not handled by the hotplug API), you'll just use the exactly same line, but in /etc/modprobe.conf.
