On my gentoo desktop I have a wireless interface running in master mode as
eth1. That works fine so far, but my eth0 interface is not working anymore.
When starting the device, the box trys to configure eth0 as wireless.
However, my /etc/conf.d/wireless does not refer to eth0. What might be
wrong?

You can always alias the device to become eth1 if you want, take a look at
/etc/modules.d and make a file for the module that your wireless uses where
you alias it as eth1.

I guess your problem is that there isn't any driver for the device that used
to be eth0, then your eth1 will automatically become eth1 (the abowe thing
will fix that).

Configuring wireless network for eth0?!
