Yes, of course:
===========================================
# grep -r ath0 /etc
/etc/conf.d/net:#wpa_supplicant_ath0="-Dmadwifi" # For Atheros based cards
/etc/conf.d/net:#wpa_supplicant_ath0="-Dmadwifi"
/etc/conf.d/wireless.example:# eth0, eth1, wlan0, ath0 - you get the idea. If 
you're not sure
/etc/conf.d/wireless.example:# Say that your wireless interface is ath0 - the 
line
/etc/conf.d/wireless.example:#      #essid_ath0="any"
/etc/conf.d/net.example:#wpa_supplicant_ath0="-Dmadwifi" # For Atheros based 
cards
/etc/conf.d/net.eth0:#wpa_supplicant_ath0="-Dmadwifi" # For Atheros based 
cards
/etc/conf.d/net.eth0:#wpa_supplicant_ath0="-Dmadwifi"
===========================================
It's all commented out.

However, I found this:

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

Shall I get rid of it?
