And I recently found out why. My laptop has a Broadcom Wifi card and I need to use a binary driver to get most out of it. Given that driver is out of tree, it breaks with almost every new release of the kernel. When Linux 3.18 (or 3.19) came out, the driver was broken and caused a kernel panic. I bought an USB wifi. Since then, I had two wlan interfaces - wlan0 and wlan1. But that was a total disaster. Sometimes the USB one would claim wlan0, sometimes wlan1, depending which driver was faster to load. I ended up blacklisting the broadcom card so udev doesn't load it anymore, simply because I don't like the new naming scheme. But now I understand why it was needed. -- Note: My last name is not Krejzi.
