Thanks for all the replies guys. The wiki link is helpful.
The wiki tells to make changes
in /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules . However, I do not have this
file. The closest I had was 70-persistent-net.rules . So I made changes to
that instead. The stanzas in /etc/network/interfaces now point to wlan0.
The good thing is that I do get network connection at the end of boot + the
interface name stays the same. But the boot process spends a lot of time
in "association" and "disassociation" phases.
$dmesg | grep wlan0 | wc -l
209
The log file
$dmesg | grep wlan0 > wlan0.messages
is attached. Is this kind of association/disassociation normal? I have not
seen that when I was using ipw3945.
thanks
