OK.

Please do not change the Makefile. The include path can be added in
.config by adding that CFLAGS line there. It looks like you removed the
CONFIG_DRIVER_MADWIFI define from the Makefile and while doing that
removed madwifi support from the build. In other wrods, the "CFLAGS +=
-DCONFIG_DRIVER_MADWIFI" has to remain in Makefile in order for the
build to work.
