[Voyage-linux] hostapd & ath9k

[Frank Parker]

I did
# rmmod ath9k
# modprobe  ath_pci

But no wifi0 interface appeared.

# lsmod | grep ath
ath_pci               185244  0
wlan                  184544  1 ath_pci
ath_hal               320500  1 ath_pci

# ifconfig -a

I also blacklisted ath9k in //etc/modprobe.d/madwifi and rebooted.
Same result.
