The madwifi headers are no longer required as the ath5k and ath9k drivers cover
that hardware, and are in the upstream kernel already.

NetworkManager uses wpa_supplicant for all connections, so if it works in NM,
it works in plain wpa_supplicant too.  I've successfully used wpa_supplicant
with ath5k hardware just fine...
