That was my first choice, but I could not make it work for me.
I think, if I can figure out how to do it, that a simple edit of
a file in /etc/pcmcia will acomlish what I want.
It's a pure a simple timing race, and if I can oly figure out
how the /etc/pcmica stuff picks a device name, and coerce it into
picking wlan0 for this specific pece of hardware.
I see how to set lot's of things, but device name is not one of them.
