I noticed something weird with the ipw2200 drivers being autoloaded

boot. I have an "alias eth1 ipw2200" line in modprobe.conf.
It used to work without a problem for a couple of days but suddenly I'm
getting very weird interface names. Instead of "eth1", I'm getting
"__tmp437329847239" where the number behind tmp is random.
NetworkManager gets sort of confused by this. The interface does work
though when configged by hand.
Doing "rmmod ipw2200 && modprobe ipw2200" gives the expected
"eth1"
interface name.
I was wondering if anyone has seen this kind of thing before. Maybe it
is the result of a common misconfiguration? A few searches on google
didn't show anything, hence my question here.
I am seeing the same thing on a server using bonding with two ethernet
interfaces. I have two different cards (e1000, acenic) and on every boot
one of the card fails. The bond0 interface still works with only one
card by I also have to do an rmmod, modprobe to get both cards working.
So I have the same error in a different setup.
