How can I force my wireless interface to be a different device name?

Using DriverLoader you can force a wireless device name using the /usr/sbin/dldrconfig --netdevname option. This option allows you to specify a naming convention for all wireless interfaces.

For example, to use the naming convention wireless1, wireless2, wireless3, etc., execute the following command as root: 

  /usr/sbin/dldrconfig --netdevname=wireless%d

For more information on this and other DriverLoader options, please type dldrconfig -help.
