Gentoo & broadcom-sta wireless driver problem

If you use the net-wireless/broadcom-sta wireless driver, and you name your wireless card 'eth1', there would be a problem:

no accept points on eth1, couldn't configure eth1

It's easy to solve this problem, but hard to find from google :-) here are two ways to get your wireless card to work:

1 change file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

change wireless card's name from 'eth1' to 'wlan0'

2 if you follow gentoo's install guide, configure network by `ln -s /etc/init.d/net.lo /etc/init.d/net.eth1`, you'd better `mv /etc/init.d/net.eth1 /etc/init.d/net.wlan0`

either would be work, reboot is needed. enjoy and have a rest
