Wireless problem. Inconsistent naming of interface
I have managed to get wireless working on our laptop with the broadcom drivers.
The problem is that the wireless interface is not being named consistently. Sometimes it is eth0, or eth1 or wlan0. I want it to be wlan0 udev 70-persistent-net-rules on this boot shows Quote:

Here is what might have been the problem:
As a first step in trying to sort out the wireless connection I installed broadcom-sta from slackbuilds. That has a module wl.ko which I suspect was interfering. I have blacklisted wl and created a file in /etc/modprobe.d with the line alias wlan0 b43 So far this seem to be working and I have wireless as wlan0 |
for reference, to write a udev rules that persist, you need to create a new file which will overrule other written rules. more information on udev man page and on the nice how-to
