Bug#414557: fails to create ath1 if ath0 is not present

[Uwe Kleine-König]

Package: madwifi-tools
Version: 1:0.9.2+dfsg-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

I'm not sure if that's a problem with madwifi-tools or the kernel
driver.  FWIW, I using version 0.9.2+r1842.20061207-2 of the kernel
driver.

	root at cepheus:~# ifconfig -a | grep ath
	root at cepheus:~# wlanconfig ath1 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta
	ath1
	root at cepheus:~# ifconfig -a | grep ath
	ath0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:11:xx:xx:xx:xx  

So ath0 is created instead of ath1.  This happens to jumble ifupdown.

Best regards
Uwe
