I couldn't agree anymore. But my ath5k kicks out a wlan%d name as with
any other mac80211 driver. Is yours coming out to ath%d ?

ieee80211_register_hw():

        /* add one default STA interface */
        result = ieee80211_if_add(local->mdev, "wlan%d", NULL,
                                  IEEE80211_IF_TYPE_STA);
