Bug#395363: linux-image-2.6.18-1-686: hostap_cs generates strange wlan0_ren interface name, doesn't work
Package: linux-image-2.6.18-1-686
Version: 2.6.18-3
Severity: normal
hostap_cs driver seems to load correctly for this card (see syslog
below) however network interface is called wlan0_ren instead of wlan0,
there is no wifi0, and ifup fails with error:
dhclient: Bind socket to interface: No such device
