No, because it simply does not exist, hence the error you get below.
Are you sure that there are no uncommented references to ath0 in your
interfaces file?

Is the link set as up?

"ip link set wlan0 up" will do that for you.  Also it is a good idea to
get to know the ip suite of tools ("ip route", "ip link", "ip addr",
etc.) as ifconfig will go away some day (it has been deprecated for years).
