[driverloader] wlan0 changes to wlan1 at random

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

since the persistent network interface names feature doesn't work very 
well on your system, you could disable it. You can do this by changing 
the FORCE_PERSISTENT_NAMES variable to "no" in the 
/etc/sysconfig/network/config file.
