I think I'll leave the driver as it is.
As I just noticed, we would lose interface renaming by udev.
>From udev/extras/rule_generator/75-persistent-net-generator.rules:
# device name whitelist
KERNEL!="eth*|ath*|wlan*[0-9]|msh*|ra*|sta*|ctc*|lcs*|hsi*", GOTO="persistent_net_generator_end"
Besides, if we can we should avoid fw%d because this will clash with
udev rules which match KERNEL=="fw*", as in
udev/rules/redhat/40-redhat.rules.
