Worse than naming the wireless interface eth%d, it also calls it eth0
or eth1 randomly on my machine. That's reason enough to force a
specific name for me. Simon, check this thread in the forums:

That happens on my machine too, but the MAC address is consistent, the
network scripts (and NetworkManager) cope with that, and it all works
fine. The names just aren't that relevant.

On my distro (SuSE 10.0), the name (wlan0) is determined by the contents of /etc/udev/rules.d/30-net_persistent_names.rules. According to the comments in that file, the rules are autogenerated by /sbin/rename_netiface.
