21 I'm afraid that although my card is now recognised as wlan0, both
22 wpa_cli and gui insist on trying to connect to ath0, unless I specify
23 -iwlan0 at the terminal. I don't have (knowingly) specified ath0 in
24 any other configuration file ... where else could wpa_supplicant pick
25 this from?
