 Package: udev 
 Version: 0.125-6 
 Severity: normal 
  
 mac80211 drivers allow multiple interfaces to be created on the same 
 physical 
 device, so the underlying wmaster0 device can have eth0, eth1 and eth2. 
 When 
 the driver is first loaded, a udev rule like this is written: 
  
 # PCI device 0x14e4:0x4318 (b43) 
 SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}==" 
 x:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="wlan*", NAME="eth0" 
  
 (originally 'NAME="wlan0"', I changed it to eth0) 
  
 When I subsequently add an interface with 
  
 iw dev wmaster0 interface add eth1 type station 
  
 a udev rule like this is added: 
  
 # PCI device 0x14e4:0x4318 (b43) 
 SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}==" 
 x:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth**", NAME="eth1" 
  
 Then, if I add another interface with 
  
 iw dev wmaster0 interface add eth2 type station 
  
 it gets caught by the existing rule and I get the infamous 'eth2_rename' 
 instead of 'eth2'. 
  
 I have seen this behavior with both b43 and ath5k.  Perhaps creating 
 multiple 
 ethX interfaces is a corner case, but the documentation should at least warn 
 about it.
