PC: 166MMX
OS: Fedora 2 kernel-2.6.9-1.6_FC2
Driver: hostap-driver-0.2.5
wlan0: pcmcia based WL200 (prism2, fw 1.5.6)
wlan1: 3com pci card (prism2.5, fw 1.7.4)

When the both cards are inserted the device names caused harms. The 
iwconfig -v shows:
iwconfig  Version 26
           Compatible with Wireless Extension v16 or earlier,
           Currently compiled with Wireless Extension v16.

Kernel    Currently compiled with Wireless Extension v16.

wifi0     Recommend Wireless Extension v14 or later,
           Currently compiled with Wireless Extension v16.

wlan0     Recommend Wireless Extension v14 or later,
           Currently compiled with Wireless Extension v16.

dev22535  Recommend Wireless Extension v14 or later,
           Currently compiled with Wireless Extension v16.

wlan1     Recommend Wireless Extension v14 or later,
           Currently compiled with Wireless Extension v16.

cat /proc/interrupts shows:
            CPU0

   1:        138          XT-PIC  i8042
   2:          0          XT-PIC  cascade

   9:       1753          XT-PIC  dev22535 <--- ???? wifi1?
  10:       1729          XT-PIC  eth0
  11:       3641          XT-PIC  pd6729, hostap_cs
  14:       8519          XT-PIC  ide0

Should the dev22535 device be wifi1? If I do "ifdown wlan1" and "ifup 
wlan1" the wifi1 device is changed to dev22535.

How to avoid this?
