You're right, I missed the point since my configuration is handled via network manager with dhcp only.

Right, are you ok with this message: Interface is now renamed from ethX to wlanY to follow mac80211 convention (in my case, eth1 was renamed to wlan0). If you experience any networking problem after this upgrade, you should have a look to /etc/network/interfaces file and replace any occurrences of ethX with wlanY. You can also safely remove the old configuration parameters concerning wl module from udev persistent network rules file: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules (I'm not a native english speaker, so any improvements are welcome) Many thanks for all your contibutions to this package!
