this seems to be fixed by the following commit which was recently
merged in wireless-testing
commit 59e7e7078d6c2c6294caf454c6e3695f9d3e46a2
Author: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo <cascardo@holoscopio.com>
Date: Thu Jun 2 17:28:37 2011 -0300
mac80211: call dev_alloc_name before copying name to sdata
This partially reverts 1c5cae815d19ffe02bdfda1260949ef2b1806171, because
the netdev name is copied into sdata->name, which is used for debugging
messages, for example. Otherwise, we get messages like this:
wlan%d: authenticated
