Expected results:

Comment 1 Harald Hoyer 2006-04-18 09:34:42 UTC

Bill, is this a problem with the interface renaming?

Comment 2 Radek Bíba 2006-04-18 18:44:29 UTC

I actually use a record in /etc/iftab that automatically renames my wireless
device to wlan0 since I don't like the idea of having eth* for wifi, but am
interested in this bug, too.

Comment 4 Bill Nottingham 2006-04-18 19:06:42 UTC

Please try the updates-testing initscripts.

Comment 5 Jeremy Katz 2006-09-22 04:01:25 UTC

Is this still happening?

Comment 6 Benjamin Hardill 2006-09-22 07:14:45 UTC

Sorry I no longer have the t40p with this card in to test.

Comment 7 Bill Nottingham 2006-09-22 15:18:16 UTC

This should be fixed in either the FC5 updates or the FC6 devel tree. Please
reopen if it is not fixed.
