How does one assign a new logical name to a network interface?

Installed the drivers for my wireless card and it was working fine. Then after I rebooted my machine my wireless card disappeared.

I ran to commands

sudo lshw -C network
and
ifconfig


here is the output.

Solved my problem completely. I didn't quite understand what the script he wrote to make the change permanant and it didn't work for me. so I just created a .wireless file that unloads and loads the drivers in the right order. then I edited my .bashrc file. whenever I need my wireless card I just go to my command line and the drivers are reloaded when it boots my bash shell.

here is the code.

.bashrc

if [ -f ~/.bash_wireless ]; then
. ~/.bash_wireless
fi


.bash_wireless

sudo rmmod ssb
sudo modprobe b43
sudo modprobe b43legacy


ssb ibs loaded automatically as because the b43 drivers rely on it.
just customize the drivers name and it should work for anyone.
