Thanks for the idea. I searched back through earlier posts, and don't
know if it was the one you were referring to, but found the thread
"load order of network interfaces" which led me to
http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html#example-iface
So I created a "/etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules" containing:
KERNEL=="eth*", SYSFS{address}=="00:13:ce:b6:1c:fb", NAME="wlan0"
which seems to implent the same sort of fix you used, but in a
way that is independent of the available driver options.
