Yes, of course: |

=========================================== |
| 13 |
# grep -r ath0 /etc |
| 14 |
/etc/conf.d/net:#wpa_supplicant_ath0="-Dmadwifi" # For Atheros based cards |
| 15 |
/etc/conf.d/net:#wpa_supplicant_ath0="-Dmadwifi" |

| 31 |
ls -la /var/run/wpa_supplicant/ath0 |
| 32 |
srwxrwx--- 1 root users 0 Jun 1 11:25 /var/run/wpa_supplicant/ath0 |
