Does anyone know why when I open networks my eth0 device is shown as it would be wlan0?
I have a Symbol wireless card for the record. P.S. It works great, but in a different interface. |

I thought wifi cards always came up as eth0 I have a 5500 and a 750 and three wifi cards. always came up with tcp/ip on eth0 but a matching entry in wifi0 but with no ip address. Unless this is just dow dhcp works with wifi?

Unless this is just dow dhcp works with wifi?  as far as I can tell, it's the hostap driver that does it. My Zonet Mercury ZCF1100 card does this, my Symbol/Socket does just eth0. the wifi0 device is a control device or something. I've been meaning to google about this, sorry, can't offer you more than this hint. |

The name doesn't really matter at all. Most wireless drivers come up with wlanX, hostap drivers also add wifiX. Cacko ROM uses ethX because Sharp network programs depend on that name.
