There are a few ways to setup madwifi, you can set autocreate to none in /etc/modules like this: ... ath_pci autocreate=none
If I add anything after my module name save my changes and reboot my ath0 interface doesn't come up. I checked this by doing - ip -s addr and could see the wif0 and ath0 interfaces were missing. Also, shorwall masq complains - unable to determine the route through ath0. (Which I would expect if the interface doesn't exist). I also tried your other suggestions below with no luck.
... This way you can create multiple AP VAPs in /etc/network/interfaces with "wireless-mode master". You can also set: ... ath_pci autocreate=ap ... and don't set "wireless-mode" in /etc/network/interface. An AP VAP will be created with module loading. I also tested it with just "ath_pci" in /etc/modules, so no argument. By default a STA is created this way. If I set "wireless-mode master" in /etc/network/interfaces the mode is also changed to "AP".
It would seem this is the only to make this work. (by leaving just plain ath_pci in /etc/modules) Will I actually see mode "AP if I look at iwconfig or will I see "Master"?
I also thought maybe I should disable the auto up/down scripts for the madwifi portion and manually type the commands to see what happens.
