Hi Jim,
This is an increasingly common occurrence as people are migrating from the
etch kernel with the horrendously non-free ipw3945 driver to the shiny new
iwlwifi driver that is in the Debian kernels as of 2.6.23.
The cure is to edit /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules and remove the
line that is associating your wireless device with the ipw3945 driver.
Further instructions are at:

or

> udev: renamed network interface wmaster0 to wlan
BTW you don't want to rename wmaster0 -- just leave that one as it is. The
device to use is the wlan0 device.
For anyone else who is curious, it seems that network-manager doesn't like the
wlan0_rename device and refuses to work with it. Fixing up
your /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules file will allow
network-manager to once again manage your wireless device.
cheers
Stuart
