Strange, as there shouldn't exist any 60-modprobe.rules file in the default
settings of your version of udev. Make sure you don't have any *files* in
/System/Settings/udev/rules.d, besides some NN-persistant*.rules. Where is that
60-modprobe.rules file located? Make sure that /System/Settings/udev/rules.d is
in sync with /Programs/Udev/Current/Resources/Default/Settings/udev/rules.d.

Hard to tell if this is correct as directories isn't always expanded (and that
there existed a counting bug until just now).

Another question, what does 'udevtest /class/net/eth1' (where eth1 is your wireless
card) output?
