The modifications to 70-persistant-net.rules seem to have done the
trick! Once I saw that it worked I ran update-initramfs -u and
rebooted.
Syslog now shows 'udev: renamed network interface wlan0 to eth1' for
some reason but the wireless card works whether I boot with it
inserted or plug it in later. :-)
There are a couple of oddities still, but they don't seem to impact
performance or usability. The transmission LED works but the
'connected/power' one remains off and, strangely, module rt2500 still
seems to be required as if I boot with the card unplugged it is still
loaded.
Anyway, thanks for the help Sven. I know Running unstable is expected
to be glitchy but this was a real irritation that I just couldn't
solve.
All the best,
Joe
