No.
It lets linux kernel to assign interface name.
Almost always it's ethX interface (X - any number).
E.g. if you already have eth0 - prism54 will register its device, as
eth1

if you have eth0, eth1 & eth2 already - prism54 will registre eth3
device, and so on.

Why do you think thar you loaded package successfully ?
Are you able to see its interfase with iwconfig ?
If yes, than you should bee able to see it with ifconfig -a
and configure it as normal network device (with some additional wireless
extention functions using iwconfig).
If no - try to find why it's not working:
 dmesg
 lsmod
 less /var/log/syslog 
 lspci
these are your friends. 
I think in dmesg output you'll find why module wasn't loaded.

is eth0 your ordinary ethernet device ?
or you have wireless device is the only network device in your system ?
