I have set up a wireless networks about a dozen times usually with little more than a prayer.
Using debian sarge I wonder why sometimes when I set up my network, it uses eth1 for the wireless network and other times it uses eth2
nurdbox:~# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
eth1 no wireless extensions.
eth2 unassociated ESSID:XXXX Nickname:"ipw2100"
Mode:Managed Channel=0 Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00

does anybody know why it chooses eth2 sometimes and eth1 other times?
