    Andrea,
    you didn't say why you wanted to change the name,
    however, James' suggestion of just making a link sounds like
    it might work with the least hazzle. You might need to add
    a directory (mkdir) or do you already have "wlan" and "eth" ???

    Whatever, see "man ln"
    for info on setting up both hard and symbolic links.
    (particurily the -s option, which is a symbolic link)

    HTH,
    Gar
