You can use udev to map wlan0 to the new device name so that netman would work.
I was thinking about a configuration file for the backend so that it would be able to substitute wlan0 and eth0 with other device names as set up by the user. I was thinking about this format: wlanX=wireless-device-name ethX=wired-connection-name However, I need the know what other developers think about this approach.
