Comment (by Dark EGI):
Yee-hee! now I know :)
It is so because udev already have a record ath0 with your original MAC.
I succeed by hands:
Debian 4.0 r2.
cd /etc/udev/rules.d/
there is a z25_persistent_net.rules file
kill lines with unneeded athX interface names.
udev makes a record ath0 with your real mac.
And to be able to use ath0 - you can prevent madfiwi driver of interface
autocreating.
echo "options ath_pci autocreate=none" > /etc/modprobe.d/madwifi
