The "ifname" is wrong.  It was intended to be "wlan%d" or something like
the comment says.  It will always fail.  One potential is to just delete
this retest and assume that the user will fix their mistake and try
again.  That's probably the best solution in fact.

	if (dev_alloc_name(dev, ifname) < 0) {
		RT_TRACE(COMP_INIT, "Oops: devname failed '%s'!\n", ifname);
		goto err_unmap;
	}
