Description:   Opened: 2007-11-18 11:54 0000 
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules shipped with udev-115-r1 is doing the
following:

# PCI device 0x8086:0x4222 (ipw3945)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:1b:77:22:b5:d3",
NAME="eth1"

There is no need to do this anymore as iwlwifi-1.1.21 provides a proper named
interface calles wlan0.  In fact, the rename is not working properly and
renames wmaster0.  The ebuild needs to either communicate the user, or make a
RDEPEND on a newer fixed version of udev.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure you are running sys-fs/udev-115-r1 (stable on amd64)
2. USE="ipw3945" emerge iwlwifi
3. modprobe iwl3945
Actual Results:  
Your interface eth1 has no wireless extensions, and this is the one you need to
configure.  eth1 is in fact low-level wmaster0.

Expected Results:  
Your interface should have wireless extensions.  iwlwifi provides now wlan0 and
there is no need to make the rename.

That rule is generated, not shipped w/ udev or iwlwifi. If you don't want that
any more, then delete the rule from the file. What exactly are you requesting
here? iwlwifi shouldn't create the bogus wmaster0 device in the first place.

I was just replying now...   see below...

Sorry guys, I'm talking crap.  The problem was when upgrading straight from
ipw3945 to iwlwifi via rmmod ipw3945/modprobe iwl3945.  The persistent rules
made the rename confused.

If you delete the rules and do the process all over again it works as
expected...  Shall the ebuild make sure/communicate this to the user???  I
leave to you to reject or leave as new...
