unknown interface pan0 created

I have a pan0 interface created for absolutely no reason.
I can understand my iwl4965agn wireless card requires a wmaster0-00 interface, but pan0 is just a complete unknown.

Output from ifconfig:

Other than the already created interfaces, I can't wrap my head around the existance of pan0!

I also found this!

kernel: pan0: Dropping NETIF_F_UFO since no NETIF_F_HW_CSUM feature.

Im running SuSE 11.0 KDE with a 2.6.25.5-1.1 kernel.

Any help is much appreciated
