Yes it does, but this is what I am getting when I try to run wpa_cli in a 
terminal:
=====================================================
$ wpa_cli
wpa_cli v0.6.4

Selected interface 'ath0'
Could not connect to wpa_supplicant - re-trying
=====================================================

ps axf shows:

/bin/wpa_cli -a/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_cli.sh -p/var/run/wpa_supplicant -iwlan1 -P/var/run/wpa_cli-wlan1.pid -B

Why is it picking up 'ath0' when there are no references to ath0 in 
my /etc/conf.d/net?  Both wpa_cli and wpa_gui seem to work fine when I 
define -iwlan1 on the CLI.

My log shows that wlan0 is renamed to wlan1:

Not sure why this happens.  Any ideas?
