If I understand this correctly, madwifi is no longer a non-free driver?

MadWifi is based on a proprietary HAL which is slightly different
than this one, so no, its still non-free. The "free" drivers where
I think focus should be put in is ath5k and ath9k as they are now both
merged as part of the Linux kernel.

The hal is not proprietary; Atheros just won't allow me to release it. And there are significant differences between the two code bases.
