[RFC] Persistent-net rules vs. wifi/wlan/ath devices

[RFC] Persistent-net rules vs. wifi/wlan/ath devices

[Matthias Schwarzott]

Hi!

The reason I write this time is: I dont understand the current handling of 
wireless net devices (I dont own such HW).

1. wifi devices: If I understand correctly they are the physical devices 
corresponding to the real HW. And they are excluded from persistent-net. Why? 
If I have two wlan HW devices they can swap.

2. wlan/ath devices. They are virtual (or something like that). And I can have 
more of them associated to one wifi device. They will then get the same mac - 
isnt it brainded then to persist them based on mac - and not based on mac and 
relative number or whatever.
Or just disable autocreation of wlan/ath devices and manually create them with 
well known name against a persistent wifi device?

Matthias
