This is because udev increase the device numbers and write them down into:

/etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules

just remove the lines u dont need (persists from previous wireless cards).

start wpa_cli and type:

level 0
status

After this u will get a summary of the current settings for your card.
