What is "the main madwifi driver"?

Your patch should have no effect for any version of MadWifi released in
the last several years.  MADWIFI_NG is defined if
IEEE80211_IOCTL_SETWMMPARAMS is defined, and it has been defined for a
long time.

The patch would only affect madwifi-old-openhal (of anything are least
remotely recent), but even that is obsoleted by ath5k.  I'd rather see
all madwifi-old support removed from hostap and wpa_supplicant.
