Considering that it's in Master mode, it must be wlan0 renamed to eth0
by some userspace program.  In Fedora, interfaces are matched by MAC
address, so if would happen if you have a file
matching /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* that contains

HWADDR=your_mac
DEVICE=eth0

It may be different on other distros.  Check also /etc/iftab - it's used
by ifrename for renaming the interfaces.
