Re: Port Assigments (wlan0 vs eth0) and DNS

Hi Tim,

I don't think you can change the name of the interface from 
wlan[0,1,2,..] to eth[0,1,..] without changing the source code of the 
driver.

It should not be neccessary anyway, every program should accept names 
like "wlan0", "ppp0" or "lo" for network devices.

To configure your device with DHCP you need the dhcp client daemon. Just 
try "dhcpcd wlan0" or look up the man pages for detailed information.
