I've applied two patches by Johannes "fix wext_ioctl() exit path" and
"fix cfg80211 modular compile w/o wext-compat", and MadWifi is working
fine now.

On the other hand, DadWifi won't compile:

/home/proski/src/dadwifi/ath/if_ath_d80211.c: In function
'ath_d80211_calc_bssid_mask':
/home/proski/src/dadwifi/ath/if_ath_d80211.c:305: error: 'struct
ieee80211_hw' has no member named 'perm_addr'

The same problem exists with iwlwifi.  I'm away from my bcm43xx card at
the moment.

I'll post more if I find any problems with either upgrading the driver
or wireless extensions for d80211 enabled drivers.
