You didn't mention what OS you were using, and this is the
Boston Linux User's group list, so I thought it a reasonable 
assumption that you were using Linux.

In a later message you mentioned using three OS, two of them
Linux.

There is no cross-UNIX method to rename interfaces. Linux has a
tool to do it; the code happens to be in the wireless-tools
collection.
