I was more or less only including in-kernel drivers, of which MADwifi
isn't one...  But point taken.  Since I work on Fedora, I can't really
invesigate MADwifi since its not fully Open Source (due to the binary
HAL and frequency restrictions), and while I understand _why_ its not
fully OSS, I am really only going to fix/support in-kernel drivers for
NetworkManager.
