Strange behaviour with boottime loading of ipw2200

Hi People,
I noticed something weird with the ipw2200 drivers being autoloaded at
boot. I have an "alias eth1 ipw2200" line in modprobe.conf.
It used to work without a problem for a couple of days but suddenly I'm
getting very weird interface names. Instead of "eth1", I'm getting
"__tmp437329847239" where the number behind tmp is random.
NetworkManager gets sort of confused by this. The interface does work
though when configged by hand.
Doing "rmmod ipw2200 && modprobe ipw2200" gives the expected "eth1"
interface name.
I was wondering if anyone has seen this kind of thing before. Maybe it
is the result of a common misconfiguration? A few searches on google
didn't show anything, hence my question here.
Kind regards,
Rubin.
