Well fortunately for my pride but unfortunate for solving this problem; The interface doesn't seem to change at least according to iwconfig it's still wlan0. Is there somewhere else I should check perhaps? Just for the sake of testing I also tried setting it to eth0-2 but not surprisingly it didn't find any devices on any of them.
Shame your cvs findings didn't seem to be the answer we were looking for. If you think of anything else to look into I'll do whatever I can to figure out the problem. ~Kyloren~
