Anomalous WiFi Behavior -- Interface Name Changes On Its Own

I'm not sure if this worthwhile to others, but I'll post it anyway. My WiFi adapter (Motorola WPIC810C PCI, Broadcom 4306 chipset) is working fine under 5.1.1. I had to script the boot seq for it (to explicitly load the firmware and NDISWRAPPER), but what the hell. However, 5.1.1 seems to change the device name w/ each boot. This time (as I type), it's eth1, but the next time it'll probably be eth0. For the record, this PC is a WiFi-Ethernet router, so it does have two live networking devices.

No great tragedy or inconvenience, but probably worth noting for the future....

PS: Something else strange, which only happens w/ this distro is:

Quote:

---

iwconfig eth1 essid "MyLocalSSID"

---

doesn't work from the startup script ! No error msg, just doesn't work. As soon as I manually type this line, WiFi is operational, otherwise only the 1st char of the ESSID is passed from the cmd-line. Truly strange....
