Hi,

I just setup a new ubuntu box with v5.04.  Compiled hostap and have got
everything working, that is I can talk thru my ap using wpa.  The issue
is I have to use eth0.  My adapter doesn't come up as wlan0.  In
the past, on plain debian, I thought I changed this by adding:

echo "alias wlan0 hostap_pci" >> /etc/modules.conf

but on ubuntu it doesn't have that file.  Where/how do I change eth0 to
wlan0?

Thanks
Jay
