Yes it does, but this is what I am getting when I try to run wpa_cli
in a
terminal:

Selected interface 'ath0'
Could not connect to wpa_supplicant - re-trying

Why is it picking up 'ath0' when there are no references to ath0 in
my /etc/conf.d/net? Both wpa_cli and wpa_gui seem to work fine when I
define -iwlan1 on the CLI.
Did you use ath0 in the past? Maybe this name has been stored in udev-
rules.
I would suggest `grep -R ath0 /etc`
I'm pretty sure that ath0 was used when I first used madwifi 2 or 3
years ago, but had changed to wlan0 the next time I tried it.
Stroller.
