[SOLVED]Wireless device recognized 1 time as eth0, eth1

Ive got this boring problem: at every boot, my ipw2200 gets recognized as a different device: 1 time as eth0, 1 time as eth1.
The strange thing is that this begun to happen only today after updating all packages from testing. This would not be a big problem, but since im using network profiles, every 2nd boot the network profile cant be started, as it is using the wrong device. Any clue?

eth0      unassociated  ESSID:off/any  
          Mode:Managed  Channel=0  Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00   
          Bit Rate=0 kb/s   Tx-Power=20 dBm   
          Retry limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:0  Signal level:0  Noise level:0
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

eth1      IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:"honzor"  
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.412 GHz  Access Point: 00:13:D4:E8:53:8D   
          Bit Rate=54 Mb/s   Tx-Power=20 dBm   
          Retry limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality=96/100  Signal level=-29 dBm  Noise level=-88 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0
