Devices created by the libertas driver are currently called eth%d. Which
is wrong, because the device does not at all have anything to do with
Ethernet. And it is also confusing when used on devices with more than
one network device.

Fix this by calling it wlan%d.

I'm fine with changing it, but it isn't really wrong either -- it's
just a name, and afterall in most cases all the user will see is
ethernet frames.

Comments from the libertas driver crew?
