Description (Last modified by mrenzmann) 

SVNVERSION           svn r1860
RELEASE_VERSION      0.9.3
uname -a             2.6.18-3-686

repeatability        Yes 

# vi /etc/modules

loop
ath_pci autocreate=none
wlan_scan_sta

In /etc/network/interfaces no ath0 or similar interface is configurated, is a fresh debian etch installation, but when the system restarts appears a "ath0" device in mode managed : 

 # iwconfig ath0


 ath0      IEEE 802.11b  ESSID:""

Looks like the option ath_pci autocreate=none in /etc/modules dont work

repeatability: The card (Atheros AR5210, pci) works fine in Debian Sarge (kernel 2.6.8-2), the option ath_pci autocreate=none works (no ath0 or similar devices in the startup)...but in debian ethc begins the problems: two installations of Debian etch and the problem persist

This is not how /etc/modules works. Please check your OS documentation (specifically modutils and modules.conf).

Closing as invalid.
