Como posso fazer wlan0 aparecer automaticamente quando eu conecto meu adaptador USB WiFi?

Question

Antes de ligar o USB, não há wlan0:

root@beaglebone:/mnt/etc/network# iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

usb0      no wireless extensions.

root@beaglebone:/mnt/etc/network# ifup wlan0

fyi, meu arquivo /etc/network/interfaces se parece com:

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
#allow-hotplug eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
# Example to keep MAC address between reboots
#hwaddress ether DE:AD:BE:EF:CA:FE

# The secondary network interface
#allow-hotplug eth1
#iface eth1 inet dhcp

# WiFi Example
allow-hotplug wlan0
auto wlan0
