Wireless interface confusion
I've noticed that when I use different wireless cards and issue the iwconfig command I either get eth0, eth1, etc... or wlan0, wlan1, etc... (at least what appear to be the most common) or sometimes a combination of both depending upon if I have more than one card inserted.
I'm guessing that ethx and wlanx are selected based upon the chipset/driver combination. Is there a way to convert the wireless interface from ethx to wlanx or vice versa by using different drivers?
I know with the Prism2/2.5/3 chipsets they default to wlan0 when the iwconfig command is issued since they use hostap drivers or wlan drivers.
I'm a little confused here is all and I would appreciate some clarification.
Thank you.
