Thanks with your info I have found that
ip link set wlan0 name ath0
To auto generate ath0 you can do something like the following in
/etc/network/interfaces
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 10.99.99.1 ### not realy used but must be here for
config reasons
netmask 255.255.255.0
pre-up ip link set wlan0 name ath0
auto ath0
iface ath0 inet static
address 10.24.5.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.ath0.conf
Thanks and greetings
Beat
