** Summary changed:
- hardy udev b43 wlan0_rename
+ hardy udev b43 wlan0_rename fix
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: udev
Current Hardy 8.04 latest beta (done yesterday a dist upgrade from
Gutsy)
When I managed to get the b43 kernel driver to work, as in this solution:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/b43-fwcutter/+bug/202567
I noticed that udev creates the wlan0_rename interface;
The fix, according to Larry Finger on bcm43xx-dev mailing list is :
It is a mac80211-introduced problem. With bcm43xx-softmac, there is only a
single device
presented, and one does not care what type it is when it is renamed. With
mac80211 (used by b43), at
least two devices are available, wmaster0 with type==0x801, and wlan0 with
type==1. Without the
ATTRS{type==1} clause, wmaster=eth1 and wlan0=wlan0_rename. With the
clause, only wlan0 is subject
to renaming and all works OK.
- So far the situation is that Network Manager Applet displays 2 different
- interfaces for the wi-fi card : one is eth1 (and both are shown as WIRED
- apparently...).
- I haven't tried the quoted fix, but it is the word of one of the
- creators of the driver, please consider.

+
+ The temporary solution is (again, published on bcm43xx mailing list):
+ 1. go to /etc/udev/rules.d
+ 2. sudo mcedit 70-persistent-net.rules
+ 3. comment out the line
+ # PCI device 0x14e4:0x4318 (bcm43xx)
+ # SUBSYSTEM==net, DRIVERS==?*, ATTRS{address}==00:0e:9b:bf:af:f4,
NAME=eth1 this line
+
+ 4. save, exit back to terminal
+ 5. sudo rmmod b43
+ 6. sudo modprobe b43
+ 7. udev will add a line like this to the aforementioned file:
+
+ # PCI device 0x14e4:0x4318 (b43-pci-bridge)
+ SUBSYSTEM==net, ACTION==add, DRIVERS==?*,
ATTR{address}==00:0e:9b:bf:af:f4, ATTR{type}==1, NAME=wlan0
+
+ Now the Network Manager shows the wlan0 interface correctly as wireless
+ adaptor.
+
+ Did this, works for me.
