If ultimately we're going to make wireless devices, as John puts it, "1st class citizens" by making 802.11 a full protocol we should just start sticking to a new convention. Before when we didn't have any softmac drivers in the kernel ethX made sense, with softmac this isn't so clear, but with 802.11 as a full protocol perhaps wlanX will finally make perfect sense. For the master device yes, how about mac%d as its there do 802.11 MAC management.
